Shortest Hello G4EF | 8 Sep 2009

shabbir

Write a C Program which has least number of characters and prints "Hello G4EF" without quotes.

This is not first submission winner but would wait for all submission and then the shortest would win.
Criteria would be least number of characters and it should be a C Program

Mridula

#include<stdio.h>
main()
{puts("Hello G4EF");}

Kshiteej

char*_="Hello G4EF\n";

I googled and found this as the shortest possible. As, the source file is only 1 byte !

Steps :
(1) Create a new empty file named : "void main(){puts(Hello, World!);}c.c"
(2) Open the file with any text editor and write only one char "A" to the file and save it.
##That's our program

Only 1 char content !
(3) To compile it, use gcc with flags "-DA=__FILE__ -Dc=// -istdio.h void*.c".

Not sure if it works. I'll test and post.

@ Shabbir,

Are you consider character in file or size of the file ?

Can you explain the difference.

1. Charater

#include<stdio.h>
main()
{puts("Hello G4EF");}

Total Character = 48

2.

#include<stdio.h>
main()
{puts("Hello G4EF");}

Save It = 4 KB

That's because the file is stored in blocks, and the smallest block size is 4KB. Select the file and press Alt-Enter and you'll see the actual file size displayed.

Very good. And what is the source code of that C program? It's true Shabbir didn't actually say "and post the code here", but that could reasonably be implied, also how is he going to judge your code if he can't see it?
