READ Puzzle

by Charlie-Boo <shymathguy@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sep 30, 2007 at 09:18 AM

I have a variable X with an existing value which I would like to set
to any value I want, via READ, potentially changing it.  I would like:

A. If no change to X is desired, then a short input results in X
ending up with the same value it started with.
B. The short input mentioned in A is independent of the value of X.
C. We are able to change X to any string we want.
D. There is only one execution of a READ.

I believe that every instance of this problem that I have seen
violated C: we are not able to change X to the short input mentioned
in A and B.

1. Adhere to C.
2. Prove whether we can adhere to all 4.

C -
