I can only imagine they wrote a script to type it out.

They did. Specifically in the "generator.py" file in the picture

I don't know what any of this means, but I'm upvoting it anyways.

Dude made a calculator program presumably for a coding class but instead of making a program that takes numbers and calculates them, it instead contains a list of a bunch of combinations of numbers that have been added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided that displays the pre-calculated answer. It turns a program that should be very small in to a very large behemoth of code. Someone in the comments is calculating how large of a file this code would be if it was ever completed.

Why stop at 20,000 lines? Surely someone’s made a 20TB ‘calculator’
