4+4 is 8 But so is 6+2 And 7+1

You can’t guess which two numbers I started with knowing just the answer

Code is the same, just with much bigger numbers and more of them

I would say that it’s more like 4+4=8 but the original could have been (1+1+1+1)+(3+1) or (2+2)+(1+2+1) etc.

Basically it’s the same thing but if you really want to understand the code and modify it in any meaningful way you have to know how it was intended and not just the results.
