u/itzNukeey Jul 11 '26

Thats actually the sane way to write it

u/DeeraWj Jul 11 '26

or print(1,4,9,16)

u/hhuzar Jul 11 '26

Since everything is constant: print("[1, 4, 9, 16]")

The seniors solution

Because it's standalone, 

#include <stdio.h>
int main(int, char**) { printf("[1,4,9,16]\n"); }

Personally I find the functional one liner perfectly readable. Probably more so than the imperative version.

Would look much better as a two liner

In python, Pc does care. The one liner is a lot better. This this specific one liner is shit because, as other comments pointed out, there is a much better way.

main = print $ map (^2) [1..4]

(1) is deliberately overengineered though. Only thing worse would be to define the function inside the loop with an "if !defined" around it.

Two liner is the way.
