[boost lexical cast]

Try running this. Either by pressing gear icon at top right of code box or using your own compiler. I kind of made this by accident.

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <thread>
#include <chrono>

using std::this_thread::sleep_for;
using std::chrono::milliseconds;

int main()
{
    std::srand(time(NULL));
    int d = 1;
    std::cout << "Delay between character prints (ms): ";
    while (!(std::cin >> d) || d < 1)
    {
        std::cin.clear();
        std::cin.ignore(1000000, '\n');
        std::cout << "Invalid. Enter again: ";
    }
    for (int n = 0; n != 50; n++) { std::cout << '\n'; }
    while (true)
    {
        std::cout << static_cast<char> (std::rand() % 300 + 1) << std::flush;
        sleep_for(milliseconds(d));
    }
    
    return 0;
}

There's some issues with my code when running it with the gear icon (http://cpp.sh). Better running it in your own compiler.

What is this program about?

Your program is meaningless. Just prints out random characters and that's it.

This program should be full of mystery. I made it myself.

#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int a, b, c;

    for (b = c = 10;
    a = "- FIGURE?, UMKC,XYZHello Folks,\
    TFy!QJu ROo TNn(ROo)SLq SLq ULo+\

    for(; a-- > 64 ; )
    putchar (++c=='Z' ? c = c / 9:33^b&1);

    return 0;
}

Let's keep our manners, now.

My program generates a pseudo-random number 1 through 300 and converts it to char. As you know integars can be converted to char based on the ASCII table.

I would use the <random> library and use random_device but it won't generate truly random numbers on all compilers.

Eg. MinGW GCC.

@Gatenna please do not plagerise another person's code. That code which prints the shape of India is old.

True. I still haven't figured out completely how it works. Definitely, not how it was created.
