Suppose that in an earlier version, either "100" or "12" 
was a more complex expression.  The expression was 
simplified but the further simplification was omitted?

Another small oddity.  Except for a special case, counter1 
is incremented before it is initialized.  If the compiler 
initializes it to 0 or if the initial value happens to be 
less than 10, no harm is done.  Otherwise, counter1 will 
eventually overflow.  It should be initialized as counter0 
is, in the body of Input.
