I don’t think that casting a range of bits as some other arbitrary type “is a bug nobody sees coming”.

C++ compilers also warn you that this is likely an issue and will fail to compile if configured to do so. But it will let you do it if you really want to.

That’s why I love C++

    A yes, comments.

    int flubTheWozat(void *) {
      for (int i=0; i<4; i++) {
        lfens += thzn[i] % ugy;  // take mod of thnz[i] with ugy and add to lefens.
      }
      return (lfens % thzn[0]) == 4; // return if it's 4ish
    }

      Haha, meaningful, informative comments that make it easier to understand the code of course. ;)
