Twenty Lines of Cursed Code

const a = -3 / 80; const e = 1; const f = 5; const g = 8 / 3; const h = 9 / 10; const i = 1; const l = 11 / 3; const n = 3; const o = 1 / 3; const r = 1; const s = 7 / 3; const t = 10 / 3; const u = 12 / 5; const v = 1; const w = 9 / 5; const x = 18 / 7; const z = 9; console.log(n*e*g*a*t*i*v*e * e*i*g*h*t + e*l*e*v*e*n); //3 //works for -11 to 11

A screenshot shows deliberately convoluted JavaScript code defining individual letter values as fractions, then multiplying them to print “negative eight eleven” and “eleven.” The joke is that a simple message is encoded through bizarre arithmetic and unnecessary lines of code, making it a reaction to absurdly cursed programming.
