Awesome, enjoy it. It's a great book, even if the edition in C used in it is a bit archaic at times.

I struggled one night with printing decimal numbers because I wanted to figure it out by myself. Now that I know how to do that, it is simple and obvious. However, I did not have it right away. Albeit my implementation differs from this, the K&R book gives the answer. I should have read it more carefully.
Code: Select all
/* C Programming Language, 4.10 Recursion, page 73 */
#include <stdio.h>
/* printd: print n in decimal */
void printd(int n)
{
if (n < 0) {
putchar('-');
n = -n;
}
if (n / 10)
printd(n / 10);
putchar(n % 10 + '0');
}

Thanks for the link--I was a little hesitant about posting one. This book is considered by most to be the bible of the C world--as such a hard copy should be obtained if your wallet and locale permit it. Worst case is you have a nice showpiece for your bookshelf. (I would be your friend if I walked into your home and saw this on your bookshelf 
)
Now for my rant:
So Steve Jobs dies--media/fanboys go bonkers.
4 days later...Dennis Richie dies......

That's *obviously* a typo, fixed now. Should've been "Plus, what is a vtable?".Opcode wrote:That's not even a sentence.Griwes wrote:Plus, what I vtable?

I would start with the second book here, the C Programming Language, 2nd ed. Feel free to look over the rest of the list.

Haha, I agree. Only for OS Dev though. No programming language is really useless, it just depends what you use it for.Brendan wrote:
I'm NOT saying that C++ is bad (it is, but I'm not saying it). What I am saying is that C is a lot closer to assembly and a lot easier for an assembly language programmer to get used to.
Back in my Game Dev days, C++ was king.

I don't think anyone has ever been able to write a Malbolge program---not even as much as a "hello, world!" For a long time it wasn't even known which type of language it is; it was thought to be a LBA but was eventually proven to be Turing-complete.

There are a couple simple ones, but they took years to figure out from what I know. A hello world, for example:Love4Boobies wrote:I don't think anyone has ever been able to write a Malbolge program---not even as much as a "hello, world!"
