Overcomplicating: The Art of Inventing New Problems

This is the Expert Bloopers' take on overcomplicating, where we take a simple concept and turn it into a convoluted mess of complexity.

Here's a list of our latest and greatest in overcomplicating:

• Designing New Bloopers
• Inventing New Problems for No Reason

int main() {
	// Create an array of 10 random numbers
	int arr[10] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];

	// Iterate over the array 5 times
	for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
		for(int j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
			if(i == j) {
				arr[i] += 1;
			}
		}
	}

	// Return the array
	return arr;
}

And here's the code for the previous example, just in case you wanted to see it again:

int main() {
	// Create an array of 5 random numbers
	int arr[5] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

	// Iterate over the array 3 times
	for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
		for(int j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
			if(j % 2 == 0) {
				arr[j] += 1;
			}
		}
	}

	// Return the array
	return arr;
}

Inventing New Problems for No Reason is a classic.
