a quine just displays its own source code, im looking for a program or the code of a program that can write more code into itself while it is compiled or in runtime.
so basically if i have a program that does nothing but accept code, then i can give it the location of a piece of code i want to insert lets say it was cout << "hello"; well then now the code can say hello when it is activated, but i dont want to go into the source code to edit it, i would like to edit it while it is in runtime or something.
this is much different from a quine because a quine only displays its own code which can be done with cout << easily
