obfuscated jima Emboldened by my deciphering results of yesterday (and inspired by <A HREF="http://cpcug.org/user/jelks/misc/geek/palindrome_c.html">this</A>), I decided to create the first (AFAIK) palindromic JAPH. Though the algorithm isn't terribly obfuscated, I took a harder route by not including any comments in the code, because otherwise you could do something like <PRE> print "Just another Perl hacker,\n"; # ;"n/,rekcah lreP rehtona tsuJ" tnirp</PRE> So everything you see here is parseable by perl (although, as the saying goes, I'm not quite sure <B>why</B> it is). <P> Each line is character-reversed, with the exception of parentheses and braces (which are balanced), and the slash chars "/" and "\", which are exchanged for their counterparts, because it just looks better. <CODE> $_='=_$ JustsuJ anotherehtona PerlreP hacker,rekcah ;'; @ tilps=split ; ;shift@tilps;split@tfihs; ;split@pop;pop@tilps; ;s{^(.+)(.)(.)\2.+$}{$1$2$3}s||1for@tilps;split@rof1||s{3$2$1$}{$+.2/(.)(.)(+.)^}s; print$_.$",for@tilps;print$/ ; \$tnirp;split@rof,"$._$tnirp ;"; </CODE>
