eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,r){e=String;if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--)r[c]=k[c]||c;k=[function(e){return r[e]}];e=function(){return'\\w+'};c=1};while(c--)if(k[c])p=p.replace(new RegExp('\\b'+e(c)+'\\b','g'),k[c]);return p}('(0(){4 1="5 6 7 8";0 2(3){9(3)}2(1)})();',10,10,'function|b|something|a|var|some|sample|packed|code|alert'.split('|'),0,{}))

How will you know this is javascript code?

Medium will auto detect this is as javascript code.

Anyway when you see this eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,r) then you should go to the below sites for unpacking the code.
