K&R exercises



Hi Group,
Not looking for an answer, but more of an explanation. Thinking back
to those heady days when you had the time to do them, may I ask this.

Exercise 1-22 asks for a program to "fold" long input lines into 2 or
more shorter lines before the nth column... etc etc. Now, there are
numerous anwers on the web and in the "C answer book", which includes a
function to expand the tabs to blanks ( depending upon where the tab is
in relationship to the next tab-stop). I have been trying to understand
why one would do this....why not just leave the tabs alone.

Not even sure if I should have asked this, but anyway.....


Tks
