Indeed. You can outsmart yourself doing that. Sometimes, just because you can doesn't mean you should.

I had that same one-liner cross-eyed experience in a Fortran class oh so many years ago. Calculating a check digit on a credit card.

Don't remember how long my solution was but the instructor did it in one line.

I posted a working RPG/Python sample earlier that uses the UNIXCMD library. I'm no Pythonista, so my code reads like Dick-and-Jane. John Y. followed up with a one-liner to do the same thing, but it'll likely make a neophyte go cross-eyed.
