(_The C Answer Book_ provides answers to the exercises given in _The C Programming Language_) Examples are fine, but without an explanation it is hard to learn. -- [- firewind -] [- email: firewind AT metroid DOT dyn DOT ml DOT org (home), firewind AT aurdev DOT com (work) -] [- "You're just jealous because the voices talk to -me-." -] [- Have a good day, and enjoy your C. -]
