Don't. It's rubbish.

Well it ain't rubbish cause it is valid C!!

Actually, it's not. In C main either takes no arguments or two arguments, not 1.

Try compiling it..

Not necessarily. It was written assuming ASCII, and not all C implementations use ASCII.

But this code is obfuscated.... Only the real C gurus will understand it
I Guess.... not this novice guy...

Depends. It's not that difficult. Just format it properly and learn a couple of tricks and it is simple.
