quine

This was one of my favorite piece of code when I first learned C programming language. This is known as "Quine". Basically program gives its source code as its output.

Please look at the websites below that I found online about "Quine".

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quine_(computing)
• https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Quine
• https://www.nyx.net/~gthompso/quine.htm
• http://www.madore.org/~david/computers/quine.html

To compile:

$ make

To run the binary:

$ ./quine

To check the difference between the source code and the output of the code:

$ make check

To remove the binary files:

$ make clean

If you don't have make you can compile 'quine.c' with gcc directly:

$ gcc -Wall quine.c -o quine

Let's play... We can compile the output of the code as well:

$ ./quine > output_source.c
$ gcc -Wall output_source.c -o output_source
$ ./output_source
