[off-topic] Ode to C

[Michael Starberg]

May your signals all trap
May your references be bounded
All memory aligned
Floats to ints rounded

Remember ...

Non-zero is true
++ adds one
Arrays start with zero
and, NULL is for none

For octal, use zero
0x means hex
= will set
== means test

use -> for a pointer
a dot if its not
? : is confusing
use them a lot

a.out is your program
there's no U in foobar
and, char (*(*x())[])() is
a function returning a pointer
to an array of pointers to
functions returning char

and, char (*(*x())[])() is

a function returning a pointer
to an array of pointers to
functions returning char

And that's why we have C# !

Indeed!

Indeed!

Me too!!!!

No, char (*(*x())[])() is just bad hacker-syntax.
