| Wow! I would have guessed that j++ ++
was not legal syntax. So, I was wrong: There are two ways
to parse that mess. So, there is
ambiguity. And the way they resolve
the ambiguity is their 'greedy'
rule! Wow! Net, that tricky stuff is too tricky
for me. There was a famous investor in Boston
who said that he only invests in companies
only an idiot could run well because
the chances were too high that too soon
some idiot would be running the company. Well, I want code, or at least language
syntax,
that any idiot can understand,
for now, me, and later some of the people
that might be working for me! You are way ahead of me on C, and you
leave me more afraid of it than I was.
But then I was always afraid of it
and, in particular, never wrote ++. |
