Interesting C Question
 
Code:
void main()
{
                if(CONDITION)
                          printf("Hello ");
                else
                          printf("World");
}
Replace CONDITION with such a condition that both the printf statements get executed.
You can't have a loop or other things in main()
According to my knowledge it's not possible.
But if it is possible, please let me know.
Thanks

printf("World"); would be nice option

A single if-else with a condition cannot take both branches. It's not an interesting question, it's a silly question.

The answer is....
 
condition --->if(!printf("hello"))

Nothing tricky about it. It's silly. Your amazing solution only has one printf statement so it can't possibly

That isn't a trick; that's being unable to read and comprehend.

DaWei....there are still two printf statements that get get executed.....one that prints hello and other that prints world.......so i think there is no problem in reading neither in comprehension..... :)
