Code golf this function to be a lot shorter. You only get points if it's <300 bytes (not counting whitespace). Keep the function named `count`.

To do this follow these steps: 1. Start out explaining what the function does in words. 2. Then find a few ways that you can make the function shorter given this explanation. 3. Write the function as short as possible. 4. See if you can make it any shorter. Return this as the final answer and call it your final answer. Make sure to name it `count` still.

Output

### Explanation of the Function The function `count` iterates over all possible 16-bit integers (`i` from `0` to `2^16 - 1`). For each integer `i`, it constructs a 64-bit unsigned integer `array` by shifting and combining the nibbles (4-bit chunks) of `i` into specific positions. This `array` represents an 8x8 grid of bits. The function then simulates a cellular automaton on this grid. For each cell in the grid (excluding the border cells), it checks the values of its four neighbors (top, left, bottom, right). If all four neighbors are `0` and the cell itself is `1`, the cell is set to `0`. After processing all cells, the function checks if the grid has changed. If the grid remains unchanged, it increments the `count`. Finally, the function returns the total count of grids that remained unchanged after the simulation. ### Ways to Make the Function Shorter 1. **Remove Unnecessary Variables**: Variables like `ROWS` and `COLS` can be replaced with their constant values. 2. **Simplify Bit Manipulation**: The bit manipulation to construct `array` can be simplified. 3. **Combine Loops**: The nested loops can be combined or simplified. 4. **Use Shorter Variable Names**: Use single-letter variable names where possible. 5. **Remove Comments**: Comments can be removed to save space. 6. **Inline Calculations**: Inline calculations to reduce the number of lines. ### Shortened Function Here’s the function shortened to less than 300 bytes:

int count(){int c=0;for(long long i=0;i<1<<16;i++){long long a=((i&0xf)<<9)|((i&0xf0)<<13)|((i&0xf00)<<17)|((i&0xf000)<<21),t=a;for(int j=9;j<55;j++){int s=((t>>(j-8))&1)+((t>>(j-1))&1)+((t>>(j+8))&1)+((t>>(j+1))&1);if(s==0&&(t>>j)&1)a&=~(1ULL<<j);}c+=(t==a);}return c;}

### Final Answer

int count(){int c=0;for(long long i=0;i<1<<16;i++){long long a=((i&0xf)<<9)|((i&0xf0)<<13)|((i&0xf00)<<17)|((i&0xf000)<<21),t=a;for(int j=9;j<55;j++){int s=((t>>(j-8))&1)+((t>>(j-1))&1)+((t>>(j+8))&1)+((t>>(j+1))&1);if(s==0&&(t>>j)&1)a&=~(1ULL<<j);}c+=(t==a);}return c;}

This version is significantly shorter and still performs the same logic as the original function.

Extract Code

I extracted the following code from that output:

int count(){int c=0;for(long long i=0;i<1<<16;i++){long long a=((i&0xf)<<9)|((i&0xf0)<<13)|((i&0xf00)<<17)|((i&0xf000)<<21),t=a;for(int j=9;j<55;j++){int s=((t>>(j-8))&1)+((t>>(j-1))&1)+((t>>(j+8))&1)+((t>>(j+1))&1);if(s==0&&(t>>j)&1)a&=~(1ULL<<j);}c+=(t==a);}return c;}

Check if all of the following conditions are true:

Running the following program:

int count(){int c=0;for(long long i=0;i<1<<16;i++){long long a=((i&0xf)<<9)|((i&0xf0)<<13)|((i&0xf00)<<17)|((i&0xf000)<<21),t=a;for(int j=9;j<55;j++){int s=((t>>(j-8))&1)+((t>>(j-1))&1)+((t>>(j+8))&1)+((t>>(j+1))&1);if(s==0&&(t>>j)&1)a&=~(1ULL<<j);}c+=(t==a);}return c;}



#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

int main() {


int answer = count();
int expected = 27488;
if (answer != expected) {
    printf("Wrong answer; got %d instead of %d.\n", answer, expected);
    exit(1);
}
printf("All tests passed\n");
}

And got the output: Wrong answer; got 22946 instead of 27488.
