I heard somewhere that the halving is just one line of code.

And I started thinking about everything that the halving implies and does and sets in motion... and it's one line of code. Wow.

CAmount GetBlockSubsidy(int nHeight, const Consensus::Params&       consensusParams)
{
int halvings = nHeight / consensusParams.nSubsidyHalvingInterval;
// Force block reward to zero when right shift is undefined.
if (halvings >= 64)
    return 0;

CAmount nSubsidy = 50 * COIN;
// Subsidy is cut in half every 210,000 blocks which will occur approximately every 4 years.
nSubsidy >>= halvings;
return nSubsidy;
}
