Puzzle: Complete the C Code Block

Published on 1 year, 8 months ago in Coding. 6 Comments

A very simple and trivial question:

I am giving a C code block that you need to complete. Here it is:

if(______) {
  printf(" Fair ");
}
else {
  printf(" Isaac ");
}

The question is this:

Propose a condition for the if statement so that the output of the block is Fair Isaac.

    Haven't been able to do it in java though. You think it's possible?

    Hello, Anuvrat,Here's a java solution for your problem, enjoy!http://pastebin.com/PKu0u1pt (incase the formatting gets screwed) if(new Object() { public boolean foo() { System.out.print("Fair "); return false; } }.foo()) { System.out.print("Fair"); }else { System.out.print("Issac"); }
