Quite Smart RIddle

[snaidis]

I'm new here and I have a quite smart riddle for you people:
Try to write a program which prints itself.
I have a pretty interesting article about this programming problem with
the answer, but first of all try to solve it by yourself.

Have a good day.

I know the article 'll be Ken Thompson's classical code.
I tried to do it.
But never came anywhere near to his idea.
Still i don't know how he is printing it using the string.
If anyone know can you please explain it to me?

A Quine?
What'd you say if I showed you a quine in C that was also a palindrome?
(That's if I can still find it, although you can probably google for it).
Look on wikipedia for Quine. There you can find information about them
if you are interested.

If you are talking about a quine then you have to know that the program
prints its source code and not itself.

Most of us have written C quines at least once.
I suggest that you google for 'quine'. There are quite a few C solutions
available.
Have a good day.

You too.

Quines are quite interesting. There is an article at Wikipedia which
shows a C version.

Thank you all-I didn't know that the name of its problem is Quine

Ok:

/*This is my ugly C quine.*/
#include <stdio.h>
char *quine="void quotate(char
*s){while(*s){if(*s=='\\\\'||*s=='\\\"')putchar('\ \\\');putchar(*s);s++;}}int
main(){printf(\"/*This is my ugly C quine.*/\\n#include
<stdio.h>\\nchar
*quine=\\\"\");quotate(quine);printf(\"\\\";\\n%s\ ",quine);}";
void quotate(char
*s){while(*s){if(*s=='\\'||*s=='\"')putchar('\\'); putchar(*s);s++;}}int
main(){printf("/*This is my ugly C quine.*/\n#include <stdio.h>\nchar
*quine=\"");quotate(quine);printf("\";\n%s",quine) ;}

Not very compact or clever, but it works (before Google Groups messes
with the line breaks, anyway).
