The meaning of 'yes' is not precisely defined, but many C implementations take it to mean "an integer that is composed somehow of the values of the characters y, e, and s." Any similarity between these two quantities is purely coincidental Exercise 1-1 Some C compilers allow nested comments Write a C program that finds out if it is being run on such a compiler... programs While these combinations are usually well-defined, the definitions are sometimes counter-intuitive or confusing This chapter looks at some syntactic constructions that are less than obvious 2.1 Understanding function declarations I once talked to someone who was writing a C program to run standalone in a microprocessor When this machine was switched on, the hardware would call the subroutine .
