gcc -std=c99 $0 -o /tmp/codebowling 2>/dev/null
/tmp/codebowling
/tmp/codebowling `python $0`
rm -rf /tmp/codebowling
exit;
echo */ >/dev/null

char* strings[] = {
   "Morning\n", "Evening\n", "Afternoon\n", "Night\n"
};

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
 if(argc == 1) printf("Good ");
 else if(argc == 2) { 
    int what = atoi(argv[1]);
    printf(strings[what]);
 }

 return EXIT_SUCCESS;
