    \$\begingroup\$ @Loovjo: Similar as other solutions which cut the code in two parts and inserts the whole String which reprensents the code inside again, but the whole code is not just a String but encoded as the long number in base 36 (26 alphabetical characters + 10 digits). \$\endgroup\$ Commented May 24, 2015 at 9:38

    \$\begingroup\$ This could be shortened if you put if(++i==92), \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jun 12, 2017 at 14:00

    \$\begingroup\$ @userunknown Actually, a* as array doesn't exit in Java, that's C. Some other parts to golf: import java.math.*;class a{public static void main(String[]a){BigInteger b=new BigInteger("abc",36);int i=0;for(int c:b.toByteArray())System.out.printf("%s%c",++i==92?b.toString(36):"",c);}}, where abc would be the newly computed magic number String. In java 8+ it's also possible to change class a{public static void main to interface a{static void main, and in Java 10+ it's also possible to change import java.math.*; and BigInteger b=new BigInteger( to var b=new java.math.BigInteger(. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 23, 2018 at 13:57
