Careful. S1[i] < S2[i] is possible.
Careful. Why assume ASCII? If S1[i] is guaranteed larger than S2[i],
" ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"[ (unsigned)(S1[i] - S2[i]) <= 26?
(S1[i]-S2[i]+1) : 0 ]
makes no further assumption. The obfuscation can ofcourse be trivially
removed.
It is not only the moderator that needs sleep it seems. It makes the
assumption that the implementation is not bizarre.
