TWISTER: Add 2 numbers using "SINGLE" variable

[Nirjhar Oberoi]

Hi,

Can you add two numbers using a Single Variable? :-)
If yes then show me the code!!!

Regards
Nirjhar

int main (void) {
int v;
v = 2 + 3;
return 0;
}

Note that the "Single Variable" [sic] is not required:
int main(void)
{
2 + 3; /* evaluate and discard result */
return 0;
}

It's required to meet the specification (which I suspect has little to
do with the actual requirement).

We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this.

While not required to add two numbers, it was stated as a requirement by
the OP, who stipulated a single variable. I debated about whether the
provided code "used" a "Single Variable" to perform the summation (as
opposed to holding the sum). Perhaps I should have written
v = 2;
v += 3; /* v is used to sum two numbers */

It's required to meet the specification (which I suspect has little to
do with the actual requirement).

Nothing in the specification requires the sum to be stored.

The specification does require a single variable to be used,
however, and your code does not use a single variable.
