Darshan A Sdarshan.hashnode.dev·Jul 13, 2024Intron: Junk or not Junk, that is the quine-tionLast time, we cracked the code of Quines, those clever programs that echo their own source code. We crafted them with surgical precision, including only the bare essentials for self-replication. But here's a question: Can we sneak in some extra, even...Discuss·1 like·78 readsQuines: Programs that print themselves.quine
