Write a single file that I can save as foo.c.py that I can run as either a C program or a python program, and so both will print "hello world". Specifically if I run `python foo.c.py` or `gcc foo.c.py && ./a.out` I should see "hello world" printed to the console.

Creating a single file that can be compiled and executed as both a C program and a Python script is quite tricky, as the syntax and semantics of the two languages are very different. However, here's a possible solution that uses a combination of C and Python comments to create a valid, albeit somewhat obscure, code:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 | #ifdef __cplusplus # error This file must be compiled as a C program, not a C++ program #endif #if __STDC_VERSION__ >= 199901L # error This file must be compiled as a C89/C90 program, not a C99/C11/C17 program #endif /* " # This is a Python script that prints "hello world" print("hello world") # The following triple-quoted string is ignored by Python # but it is a valid multi-line comment in C """ */ // This is a C program that prints "hello world" #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("hello world\n"); return 0; } /* """ # The end of the triple-quoted string */ |
I extracted the following code from that output:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 | .py #ifdef __cplusplus # error This file must be compiled as a C program, not a C++ program #endif #if __STDC_VERSION__ >= 199901L # error This file must be compiled as a C89/C90 program, not a C99/C11/C17 program #endif /* " # This is a Python script that prints "hello world" print("hello world") # The following triple-quoted string is ignored by Python # but it is a valid multi-line comment in C """ */ // This is a C program that prints "hello world" #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("hello world\n"); return 0; } /* """ # The end of the triple-quoted string */ |
