Nonsense.  You obviously know nothing of C.  You should probably try to
understand something simple like "Hello world" before bothering the net
again with such rank amateur comments.  (I can tolerate dumb questions, but
not dumb answers, particularly when it's obvious that the code has not
been tested, or run through lint, or when TFM hasn't been consulted.)
