Stupidest_function_ever returns value q (binary) for
given parameter n. It returns a true value if the digit in
the thousandths place of the quotient - of n divided by
the product of the number of planets when you were
born and the sum of the episode numbers of good Star
Wars movies - is greater than four.
n = 11540;
while (n > 9000) {
q = Stupidest_function_ever(n);
printf( “%d”, q);
n = n – broken link;
}
printf ( “ <- Third digit. n”);

Hope you enjoyed them.
Can’t wait to chat and
