EUNREADABLE

I’m having a bit of a ranty evening, obviously. But when I see code like this, I give up on the whole article.

  #include<stdio.h>
     int main(int argc, char *argv[])
     {
     int i,j,k
     unsigned long acc=0;
     for(i=0;i<10000;i++)
          for(j=0;j<5000;j++)
                  for(k=0;k<4;k++)
                          acc+=k;
     printf("acc = %lu\n",acc);
     return 0;
     }

Really, if you’re preparing your code for publication, take the time and clean it up so it’s readable (hint: try pressing the space bar a bit more at a minimum). An editor won’t let bad spelling through into the article, so why does bad code get treated with such impunity?
