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

Below is one acceptable “code‐golf” solution. But first, here’s how we got there: 1. What the function does: • It loops over all 16–bit numbers (0 … 65535). For each such number k it “embeds” its four nibbles into an 8×8 bit–board by first extracting the nibbles (bits 0–3, 4–7, 8–11, 12–15), placing them into a 16–bit number so that when the whole thing is shifted left by 9 the lowest nibble lands at bit 9, the next at bit 13, then 17 and 21. (That is, a becomes (x | y<<4 | z<<8 | w<<12)<<9.) • Then it “scans” the inner cells (rows 1–6, columns 1–6). For every bit that is 1 and whose four direct neighbors (up/down/left/right) are 0, it clears that bit. • Finally, it checks if the board (a) never changed from its initial state (b). If so, it counts that board. • It returns the total count. 2. Ways to shorten: • Combine the extraction of nibbles into one expression. • Remove needless whitespace and use single–letter loop variables. • Nest the loops on one line. • Use the fact that in C an expression like (a>>p&1) means ((a>>p)&1). • In short, “compress” everything while keeping the function name count (and still correct). 3. The final golfed code (under 300 bytes): -------------------------------------------------- Final Answer: -------------------------------------------------- int count(){int c=0,i,j,k;unsigned long long a,b;for(k=0;k<1<<16;k++){a=b=(((((k&15)|(((k>>4)&15)<<4))|(((k>>8)&15)<<8))|(((k>>12)&15)<<12))<<9;for(i=1;i<7;i++)for(j=1;j<7;j++){int p=i*8+j;if((a>>p&1)&&!(a>>(p-1)&1)&&!(a>>(p+1)&1)&&!(a>>(p-8)&1)&&!(a>>(p+8)&1))a&=~(1ULL<<p);}c+=a==b;}return c;} -------------------------------------------------- 4. We then checked for further compression (removing extra whitespace, using fewer variable names, etc.) and this version meets the requirements while keeping count named count. This is our final answer.

Extract Code

I extracted the following code from that output:

#include <stdio.h>

int count(){int c=0,i,j,k;unsigned long long a,b;for(k=0;k<1<<16;k++){a=b=(((((k&15)|(((k>>4)&15)<<4))|(((k>>8)&15)<<8))|(((k>>12)&15)<<12))<<9;for(i=1;i<7;i++)for(j=1;j<7;j++){int p=i*8+j;if((a>>p&1)&&!(a>>(p-1)&1)&&!(a>>(p+1)&1)&&!(a>>(p-8)&1)&&!(a>>(p+8)&1))a&=~(1ULL<<p);}c+=a==b;}return c;}

Output

Below is one way to arrive at a very short version. ──────────────────────────── 1. Explanation in words The function iterates through all 16‐bit numbers. Each 16–bit number is “expanded” into an 8×8 bit–board by taking its four 4–bit groups and placing them into specific bit–positions (shifts 9, 13, 17, and 21). Then for every cell in the interior (rows and columns 1–6) the code checks if (a) the cell is 1 and (b) its four (up/down/left/right) neighbors are all 0. If so, that cell is “cleared” (set to 0). Finally, if no such change happened (i.e. the new board equals the original one) the counter is incremented. The function returns the total count. ──────────────────────────── 2. Ways to shorten the function • Remove unnecessary whitespace and long variable names. • Inline the shift‐arithmetic by writing the constants (9, 13, 17, 21). • Use one–letter variable names for the loop indices. • Combine inner loops into one (using the comma operator to assign p once). • Omit braces when the body is a single statement. ──────────────────────────── 3. Final code (under 300 bytes) Here is one acceptable shortened version: ------------------------------------------------ int count(){int c=0,j,k,p;unsigned i;unsigned long long a,b;for(i=0;i<0x10000;i++){a=((i&15ULL)<<9)|((i&0xf0ULL)<<13)|((i&0xf00ULL)<<17)|((i&0xf000ULL)<<21);b=a;for(j=1;j<7;j++)for(k=1;k<7;k++)if((p=j*8+k,b>>p&1)&&!(b>>(p-8)&1)&&!(b>>(p-1)&1)&&!(b>>(p+8)&1)&&!(b>>(p+1)&1))a&=~(1ULL<<p);c+=a==b;}return c;} ------------------------------------------------ ──────────────────────────── 4. Any further shortening? There are other ways one might golf (such as playing with for–loop initialization or even using macros) but the above version meets the criteria (under 300 bytes, with the function named count). ──────────────────────────── Final Answer The version above is our final answer.
