What are the methods in python to sum up a code? Example(sum up this code to a single line);

def OC(nelx, nely, x, volfrac, dc):
    l1, l2 = 0, 1e5
    while l2 - l1 > 1e-4: l1o, l2o, l1, l2 = ((l1, l2, 0.5*(l2+l1), l2) if np.sum(np.maximum(0.001, np.maximum(x - 0.2, np.minimum(1.0, np.minimum(x + 0.2, x * np.sqrt(-dc / (0.5 * (l2 + l1)))))))) - volfrac * nelx * nely > 0 else (l1, l2, l1, 0.5*(l2 + l1)))
    return np.maximum(0.001, np.maximum(x - 0.2, np.minimum(1.0, np.minimum(x + 0.2, x * np.sqrt(-dc / (0.5 * (l2o + l1o)))))))

Hi, i need help understanding this concept, thank you guys.

    That code is **absolutely horrific** and you should never use anything like it. And I doubt anyone other than the original author can explain it, chances are even the original author can no longer do that. – luk2302 Aug 17 '23 at 11:36
  • Why? ChatGPT can easily explain it - just ask it "What does this Python function do?" and paste it, and it tells you. – k314159 Aug 17 '23 at 11:42

    @k314159 ChatGPT is also known to get things **very** wrong. It is not the great panacea. The code shown is awful and is almost certainly deliberately obfuscated. Either that or the original author is a bit "odd" – DarkKnight Aug 17 '23 at 11:45

    What do you actually mean by "methods in python to sum up a code"? Do you mean to re-format the code so that it is a single line expression? (Why???) – Anentropic Aug 17 '23 at 11:46
  • "Sum it up" in a single line of Python, or a single line of English? – slothrop Aug 17 '23 at 11:46

    Single line of python. If possible. Is there a way to do that? – Guilherme Salmi Aug 17 '23 at 12:23

    The code is bad enough alrady, don't make it even worse. – luk2302 Aug 17 '23 at 12:35
  • Perfect example of "[When I wrote this, only God and I knew how it worked. Now, only god knows it!](https://i.redd.it/hwqj7yx9vm211.jpg)". Is there a specific reason why you want this to be a one-liner? – doneforaiur Aug 19 '23 at 10:01
  • Also; likely the same user's question; [How can I make this loop a single line?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76895034/how-can-i-make-this-loop-a-single-line-list-comprehension) where they said "My goal in this project is to prove that not always the smaller the code is better". – doneforaiur Aug 19 '23 at 10:58
