Dec 24, 2010 - I'd like to learn this but just following the xcode/apple site for the "hello world" is over my head a bit, anybody have advice for beginners working with mac, books and web sites?

Jan 30, 2011 - you're not even supposed to understand that much yet :)it's just a taster, to point out that sometimes you can guess what things do so printf("Hello World") prints the words Hello World as you'd expect, and logically to get it to do it twice (without even knowing the language) you can just type it again :)

This can make things look pretty scary for some people if their editors are set up with a different tabwidth.However I do prefer tabs myself but I guess they just set up rules to keep it simple. Their school - their rules. What I don't get is - Why use C++ style comments in a C program?

Aug 4, 2011 - why don't you use TAB when your programming ? Ive been doing it for a year now .... uh oh...

Dec 1, 2011 - Wow, thanks for the help. Really worth watching. :)

foxwolfblood2 Says:

Mar 6, 2012 - the C++/BCPL style comments (//) are allowed in C99/gnu99. To be honest i wouldn't do that as it can confuse some compilers but to each his own. also tabs are pretty scary in vim by default... but doesn't bother me that much (i use both depending on what im writing)

Mar 26, 2012 - 3 billion chickens (last few seconds of video)? I think this guy's onto something... Might be in for more than what he came for XD

Apr 3, 2012 - Good grief, he is using Pico...(Well at least he is not using EMACS)VIM > * > EMACS > ed

Apr 16, 2012 - The main arguments are used if u need to supply the Program with certain values to start with. Argc refers to the number of arguments needed to supply and argv[] is an array of the arguments.

blacklight2000 Says:

Apr 21, 2012 - It is poor software enginerring practice to choose to use variable names that are not intuitive, "chicken" vs. "chickens" for example - I'd pick "no_of_chickens" - yes, the name is longer but the meaning is clear, there is no confusion and there will be no confusion as I review my own code six months from nowor when somebody else wants to review my code. C is not a particularly readable language, so every effort must be made to make C programs easier to read so that they are easier to maintain.
