我喜欢在C中插入八进制值:

int values[8] = { 123, 154, 103, 310, 046, 806, 002, 970 };

下面是一个关于python的例子:

>>> print 07
7
>>> print 08
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    print 08
           ^
SyntaxError: invalid token

那不是很美吗?

尤其当你想到人类是如何写日期的时候，你会觉得很不周到，这有以下影响:

datetime.date(2010,02,07) # ok
datetime.date(2010,02,08) # error!

(原因是0x被解释为八进制，所以打印010打印8!)

在JavaScript中:

 '5' + 3 gives '53'

而

 '5' - 3 gives 2

我最喜欢的奇怪的C语言是5[“Hello World”]，但因为已经发布了，我最喜欢的第二个奇怪的是Windows版本结构初始化黑客:

void someWindowsFunction() {
    BITMAPINFOHEADER header = {sizeof header};

    /* do stuff with header */
}

这条微妙的线条达到了以下效果:

Declares a BITMAPINFOHEADER structure Concisely sets the "size" member of the structure, without hardcoding a size constant (since many Window structures, including BITMAPINFOHEADER, follow the convention of specifying the size of the structure as the first member} Declares the version of the structure (since many Windows structures, including BITMAPINFOHEADER, identify their version by the declared size, following the convention that structures definitions are append-only) Clears all other members of the structure (a C standard behavior when a structure is incompletely initialized).

我在试图找出一个完全没有意义但无论如何都能工作的MACRO时遇到了这个。这对于objective-c是正确的，但对于其他类型的C(或者至少是gcc编译器)也可能是正确的。

NSString *oneString = @"This " @"is " @"just " @"one " @"normal " @" string";

=

NSString *oneString = @"This is just one normal string";

C风格的字符串也是如此

char* str = "this " "also " "works";

我最喜欢的c++之一:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    cout <<  3 << 5  << endl;
    cout << (3 << 5) << endl;
    return 0;
}

当然，这很容易解释，但它让刚开始编程的学生摸不着头脑!
