I saw a problem which asks you to print "Hello World" using the fewest characters, including spaces. How can I further shorten this code? Thank you in advance!

#include<iostream>
int main(){printf("Hello World");}

    \$\begingroup\$ You can remove #include <iostream> and use puts instead of printf (assuming you're using a kind compiler that allows you to use these functions without including cstdio) (edit: it seems that neither G++ nor clang are kind enough and I was wrong) This question should almost certainly be tagged [tips]. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @Summer, it works for me: pastebin.com/Qr9hM6g8 Note that as we regularly force the boundaries of compilers/interpreters, warnings are acceptable by default here. \$\endgroup\$
