1. C contains very few of the friendly English-like syntax structures found in many other programming languages.
2., C presents the software engineer with unusual-looking operators and a plethora of pointers.
3.C is almost a real language. Even the name sounds like it's gone through an optimizing compiler.
Get rid of all of those stupid brackets and we'll talk.

How to debug a "C" program.
---------------------------
1] If at all possible, don't. Let someone else do it.
2] Change majors.
3] Insert/remove blank lines at random spots, re-compile, and excecute.
4] Throw holy water on the terminal.
5] Dial 911 and scream.
6] There is rumour that "printf" is useful, but this is probably
unfounded.
7] Port everything to *nix.
8] If it still doesn't work, re-write it in assembler.
This won't fix the bug, but it will make sure no one
else finds it and makes you look bad.
