Just don't write like that when coding, it's pointless in the practical sense of trying to write/optimize the program. Not pointless in the security sense like what @XiLDRYAD said. People can also just use programs to Obfuscate the code.

not pointless at all! code like this is widely used to make harder for other people to understand what your code does; think about a source code containing a virus or a prank = 3 this is called obfuscation; if you are interested have a nice read: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obfuscation_(software)
