Since pointer addition is commutative [i.e., *(e+5) == *(5+e) ] they're the 
same thing.

My favorite C obfuscation.  (And I only use it when I intend to be obtuse! 
:)  Note below that "j" is an int and "t" is an array of char and there's a 
"putchar(j[t])" in there.  [Yes, it compiles and runs.]

char*i="y>b<+x,m+tie@.juswndnc@dt<Wupi\"JWhysbJirviiy";
while(*i)((j+=strchr(t,*i++)-(int)t),(j%=sizeof t-1),
(putchar(j[t])));return 0;}/* under GPL */
