 Ahh, i had the impression from the list that all whitespace tokens were referring to a single statement line, not as a whole.

 Guess the only way to make it so spaces (1 or more) were whitespace, would be if we still use a fixed 80character width screen for our editors, then leftover whitespace becomes formatting. But it seems sufficiently stupid to do that, filesize being the largest part.

I know all of C appeared in it's formatting, to allow you to drop all whitespace (with minor exceptions) into a single line, which is why /**/ comments were used and c++'s // ones were added later. Although fun to do a whole lot on a single line, i don't know if i would want to.

/*C code following the follow proposal; tested and works. Not bad for 165 characters of pure code.*/ isprime(int n){int cnt=2;if(n<2)return 0;for(;cnt<n;cnt++)if((n%cnt)==0)return 0;return 1;} main(){int cnt=2;for(;cnt<100;cnt++)if (isprime(cnt))printf("%d ", cnt);}

Sorry, but you still have unnecessary spaces in 3 places ;)

4, the space between the leading comment and 'isprime' must be removed as well.
