make
There is an alt version which is the originally submitted entry. See Alternate code below for details.
./prog <a number of arguments>
./try.sh
An alternate version of this entry, prog.alt.c, is provided. This alternate code does not contain improvements suggested by Gil Dogon; it is the author’s original entry.
make alt
Use prog.alt
as you would prog
above.
For this one liner it is best to avoid prime numbers. The output groups factors in the x-y dimensions. How many factors can be represented before you run out of command line argument space? How could you modify the program to experiment with numbers that have more or larger factors?
Visual factorization 1-liner. Try:
gcc -o prog prog.c
./prog @
./prog @ @
./prog @ @ @
./prog @ @ @ @
./prog @ @ @ @ @ @
./prog @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @
./prog @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

prog.alt.c is the original version that I submitted. Gil Dogon kindly improved it during the review. Thank you!
