Only Way to Multiply in C

so weird that this is the only way to multiply in C int mult(int m, int n) { char a[m][n]; return sizeof a; }

A screenshot shows a programming post claiming that declaring a variable-length two-dimensional char array and taking sizeof it is the only way to multiply in C. The joke is that the code exploits the language’s array-size behavior to perform multiplication in an absurdly indirect way, poking fun at C’s quirks and readability.
