Why do you post if you don't take the responses seriously?


Barry have you ever read a paragraph of text kandr2 or anything else and
had no idea what you read? Do you forget entire conversations that occurred
10 minutes before? This isn't an excuse but it's what I have to put up with
all the time. I still trudge along. I am receiving a lot of good help here
and do appreciate it. Sometimes I receive contradictory feedback though (not
in this case) and have to make a decision on my own. I received A's in high
school for spelling and now have a serious problem remembering how to spell
even the most simple words. I have to save emails and reread them several
times to get the core of what I'm told. Maybe I should give up. That would
be the easy thing. But I have set a goal and it I'm afraid will be a long
term goal to learn C.

In view of the number of mistakes I've posted here, it is obvious
there is a lot in K&R2 that I don't understand as well as I thought I
did. I also walk into rooms and wonder why I went there. However,
when I use printf, I do attempt to find the correct format for the
type of variable I want to print. I don't just assume everything is
an int.

I am quite willing to accept that you have a condition which makes
learning C difficult for you. But

1 - You post code which appears to have been cut and pasted from your
source files. Yet you refuse to do the same for error messages and
instead posting phrases of the form "something like ..." Since you
know how to cut and paste, this is due to either laziness or trolling,
not your condition.

2 - In spite of repeated advice to the contrary, you continue to guess
when dealing with something new. It would actually be less work for
you and us if you would simply ask for ideas how to accomplish the
task du jour. If you can't specify what you want to do, you can't
write code to do it.

Others may add to this list but the bottom line is that haphazardly
slapping code together does not qualify as making a serious effort.
