Simpler: Make a singly linked list and apply merge sort.

Use int main(void)

Test with feof() *after* a read operation returns EOF. That's the way it
must be done in C, whether it's intuitive or not.

*Never* use gets(). fgets() is almost as easy to use. Also note that the
array name 'x', by itself decays to a pointer to the start of the array
under most conditions. So '&x' is unnecessary, as in the cast.

Posting a minimal self-contained example, demonstrating the "problem",
will generate more useful help.

My guess is, you should look into how strtok() works.

  Counting blanks

Hi I am new to this forum.

I have taken a class in C some time ago but now I am reading Kernigan
and Richie's book to refresh my knowledge. I think I have forgotten
alot and there are no solutions to the exercises. Maybe some people
here can check through some of my solutions.

Below is a solution to the exercise 1.8.

/* blank counter */

int x, y, z;

void main()
{
char c;

^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is almost certainly _not_ what you want. Why is this
Pascalism so common? It can't be that any competent C textbook actually
suggests it.

Each of the above should be checked for success.
You don't show a declaration of buffer, so I assume it is an
array of char arrays, each of adequate length. Check to make sure.

  Win32: C: Chinese language inputting improperly in text box. Extremely strange bug, please help!         


Author: greggorob64
Date: Nov 30, 2007 13:20

Hello, I am working with a system developed several years ago, and was
recently internationalized to support unicode languages.

I am running into a very frustrating and challenging problem:

In 99%% of the textboxes, entering chinese (or japanese or arabic)
characters (using windows IME), in any amount and length, will show
up and puts random characters int he textbox (sometimes '?', sometimes
a box, sometimes a different chinese char, never the correct
character). Spanish, German, etc, sho up fine.

For me to reproduce the symptom, i click inside the textbox, with IME
in chinese, type X, I, enter, enter (to pridoce the xi character, then
a second enter to return out of the ime. eveyrhting shows up properly
until the last enter, when the random garbage is produced.

To further complicate the situation, if i type the test in any other
textbox (word, excel, firefox), the characters show up fine. When i
copy those, and paste into my suspect textboxes, they show up FINE.

  TypeDef array of size 1         


Author: CJ
Date: Nov 30, 2007 11:34

Hello friends,

It seems to be quite common in libraries (e.g. GMP) to have typedefs
like

typedef struct {
/* stuff */
} __type_struct;
typedef __type_struct type_t[1];

I guess the advantage of this is that it allows type_t variables to be
passed by reference without an extra level of indirection.

Is this considered good C style? Are there any problems or pitfalls to
be wary of with this approach?
