Re: Simplicity has a future

You claimed the program was valid C.

It is.

Silly me for assuming you would refer to an older standard without stating
so.

It is certainly silly to assume that everyone has started using C99 even
though almost nobody has a conforming C99 compiler.

That aside, though, your rules are obviously intentionally
unreasonable, as it is entirely possible to modify your program to make
it valid C++ without modifying either its "essential character" or its
output.

Go on then.
