After this epiphany, do you have any descriptions that might be more "newb-accessible"? That is, something that might help the next guy "get it" in fewer rereads? [/curious]

hehe accually i read it once, couldn't understand anything. Went back read more basic tutorials then came back (:
And zekedragon explained a little on msn

@n00py: I changed the variable names to prevent confusion. As for the pointer stuff, I have a little note at the beginning that links to the pointer tutorial I did with ZekeDragon.

Just now I read your article on pointers. I didn't notice it at first, because the links aren't made obvious on this forum. Perhaps it might be a good idea to give it an underline, and highlight the link (as I should)... I believe your pointer tutorial needs slight modification. It's good, but arrays aren't pointers. There are differences, and the ones that come to mind are described by the points in my previous post. Perhaps it would be best if you worded it like: "Arrays decay to pointer values during runtime."

i just read the post, it's ok, but you have do give more detail, an i think you have an mistake "for (i--;i>=0;i--)".. i don't understand this statement, and furthermore "i" is a local variable in the for, an when the for exits the value of "i" is not holded... Good job anyway, + rep. P.S. sorry for my english but i am romanian

What are you talking about? Of course 'i' keeps it's value after the for loop. As long as it's in the same function, 'i' will not change it's value.
Just to prove my point, running this code will print out 10:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
    int i;
    for (i=0;i<10;i++);
    printf("%d\n", i);
    return 0;
}

Um, I typed in the program, and it compiled fine, but when I enter anything, it only goes to another blank line to infinity.
(Yes I know this is an old tutorial )

The program should stop reading input when it hits end of file. If you're on Windows, use CTRL+Z on a blank line. On *nix, use CTRL+D on a blank line.
