    :confused: void set_ptList(int len, int *start) { int i, z, l; i = 0; z = 0; while (i < len) { if (new_settings[3][i] != act_settings[3][i]) { if (i < (len-1)) { if (new_settings[3][i] > act_settings[3][i+1]) { i++; z++; } else { for (l = i; l >= i-z; l--) { list[*start][0] = 3; list[*start][1] = l; (*start)++; } z = 0; i++; } } else { l = i; i++; while (z >= 0) { list[*start][0] = 3; list[*start][1] = l; (*start)++; z--; l--; } } } else { i++; } } } :confused:

    Apparently this code generates a list of reversed ordered blocks of indexes where the new_settings and acc_settings differ, separating the block in the items where the value in new_settings is > the next item in acc_settings. I guess...

                          About 4 years ago I had a problem with this code and spent a night trying to understand what the programmer wanted to do. It was just the worst code I have seen. Especially with parameter l and 1 is very difficult to tell apart...
