          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...

              it shows there is no need for obfuscators in the modern toolbox. :laugh:

                Why? Is it something you need to figure out for work? Just a challenge for us? What's the concern? -Nick P.

                  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...

                        :) I wish I could claim it as my own original line, but I got it from my son. He found it somewhere online, and I loved it. :)
