Syn: Conflict; combat; battle; encounter; shock; struggle;
dispute; altercation; debate; controvesy; difference;
disagreement; strife.
Usage: Contest, Conflict, Combat, Encounter. Contest
is the broadest term, and had originally no reference
to actual fighting. It was, on the contrary, a legal
term signifying to call witnesses, and hence came to
denote first a struggle in argument, and then a
struggle for some common object between opposing
parties, usually one of considerable duration, and
implying successive stages or acts. Conflict denotes
literally a close personal engagement, in which sense
it is applied to actual fighting. It is, however, more
commonly used in a figurative sense to denote
strenuous or direct opposition; as, a mental conflict;
conflicting interests or passions; a conflict of laws.
An encounter is a direct meeting face to face. Usually
it is a hostile meeting, and is then very nearly
coincident with conflict; as, an encounter of opposing
hosts. Sometimes it is used in a looser sense; as,
"this keen encounter of our wits." --Shak. Combat is
commonly applied to actual fighting, but may be used
figuratively in reference to a strife or words or a
struggle of feeling.

obfuscated c contest
(foldoc) | Obfuscated C Contest
The International Obfuscated C Code Contest
(IOCCC) is an annual contest run since 1984 over Usenet by
Landon Curt Noll and friends. The overall winner is whoever
produces the most unreadable, creative, and bizarre (but
working) C program. Various other prizes are awarded at the
judges' whim. C's terse syntax and macro-preprocessor
facilities give contestants a lot of maneuvering room. The
winning programs often manage to be simultaneously funny,
breathtaking works of art and horrible examples of how *not*
to code in C.
This relatively short and sweet hello, world program
demonstrates obfuscated C:
/* HELLO WORLD program
* by Jack Applin and Robert Heckendorn, 1985 */
main(v,c)char**c;{for(v[c++]="Hello, world!\n)";
(!!c)[*c]&&(v--||--c&&execlp(*c,*c,c[!!c]+!!c,!c));
**c=!c)write(!!*c,*c,!!**c);}
Here's another good one:
/* Program to compute an approximation of pi

CONTESTATIO
(bouvier) | CONTESTATION. The act by which two parties to an action claim the same
right, or when one claims a right to a thing which the other denies; a
controversy. Wolff, Dr. de la Nat. 762.
|
CONTESTATIO LITIS
(bouvier) | CONTESTATIO LITIS, civil law. The joinder of issue in a cause. Code of Pr.
of Lo. art. 357.
|
LITIS CONTESTATIO
(bouvier) | LITIS CONTESTATIO, civil law. "Contestari." It is when each party to a suit
(uterque reus) says "Teste estote." It was therefore, so called, because
persons were called on by the parties to the suit "to bear witness," "to be
witnesses." It is supposed that this contestatio was the usual termination
of certain acts before the magistratus or in jure, of which the persons
called to be witnesses were at some future time to bear record before the
judex, in judicio. The lis contestata, in the system of Justinian, consisted
in the statements made by. the parties to a suit before the magistrate
respecting the claim or demand, and the answer or defence to it. When this
was done, the cause was ready for hearing. Savig. Traite de Droit Romain,
tom. vi. Sec. cclviii.; Smith, Dict. Gr. & Rom. Antiq. h.v. The contesting
of the suit, or pleading the general issue. Vide 2 Bro. Civ. and Adm. Law,
358.
