The title is self-explaining, post here lines that you find elegant for whatever reason, be it that it shows the power of a language you like, that it shows how smart you are, or it's one of those obfuscated pieces of code without line breaks... Whatever.

Take a look at this C# for starters. Bear in mind that all this is 100 per cent strongly statically typed!

foreach(var result in new[] {
   new {
      fileName = fileName + ".1" + extension,
      data = Result1
   },
   new {
      fileName = fileName + ".2" + extension,
      data = Result2
} })
{ /* ... */ }

Beautiful!

For those of you that don't know any CAS (Computer Algebra System), specially any capable of symbolic computations as well as numeric, here's a little Maxima:

That link is a MHTML file, any browser should be able to open it I think, except for Safari and Firefox needs some extension.

This is free software, amazing. Too bad I didn't know it before. I could port my Sun position calculator to this.

When you can show me what the southern hemisphere's night sky will look like on any given night, please let me know

I could... I only need massive amounts of initial data regarding the position, movement and brightness of every star. :P
