      How horrible this is depends on the language: is it C? C++? something else? :)

        It's C, but I don't see how the language makes it any better or worse.

          some languages such as C# allow for code inside a struct; C does not. How would you do it in C? :)

            No matter what language - all of them allow at least for summarizing this in one loop construct... :) Regards Thomas

                          Really horrible, poor guy didn't consider performance of such code. I have far more superior solution:

                                  some languages such as C# allow for code inside a struct; C does not. How would you do it in C? :)

                                    that is something different, it generates no run-time code. It may or may not be sufficient for what the original program needed, assuming you duplicate the constants 15 times. :)

                                        No, however you can edit a message instead of deleting it. :)

                                          I especially love the brackets he put around the loop bodies - in case he needs to add some additional instructions there!
