I get the feeling I'm missing something here.. uhm?

A quine is a computer program which takes no input and produces a copy of its own source code as its only output.

There is no point really. It is an academic exercise. To write a program that outputs itself

My apologies for giving the impression, this is something useful to know, when learning to code. It is as useless as art. I just explored my geeky side a bit (and I was so proud that it worked :-) because first I thought "oh, an easy one" and then it took me quite a while.

I just got inspired by this video about

Ok, I was thinking a long time before posting the next quine. Maybe its gonna cost my reputation points, but hey, Monty Python did not care about reputation points and they made the world laugh. Get ready for #2:

That's thinking outside the box. I like that.

@spikey enjoyed that genuinely interested to dive a bit deeper into code thanks for that

Yeah okay that last one got a chuckle from me :)

I have read that you can write ouroboros programs with quines.
(snakes that bite themselves)

Seems like you can output a Java quine in c++ and convert it back to Java. Dunno what's that worth for but seems funny

Fix for FUZE 2.15 ;-)
