No, like this: ```c int fliptwoone(int teaparty){ static int obamacare = 33620226; return teaparty[(char*)&obamacare-1]; } ```

Never seen anyone index into an `int` before... but that's C for you I guess

And another broken quote... isn't that right @discoursebot?

Select Case intInput
   Case 1
      Return 2
   Case 2
      Return 1
   Case Else
     Throw New InvalidArgumentException("WTF, mate?")
End Select

That's brillant. It even works for little- and big-endian!

teaparty[(char*)&obamacare-1] == *(teaparty + (char*)&obamacare - 1) == *((char*)&obamacare + teaparty - 1) == ((char*)&obamacare)[teaparty - 1]

I though nothing from Discourse could surprise me anymore. I was wrong.
