  17.    I saw this piece of code in a book somewhere.

  19. Throw away the book: immediately.

  22.    char *str ;

  24.    str = "hello world"[10] ;

  28.    what does the second line do?
  29.  
  30. Nothing meaningful. In fact, the compiler must tell you that this is
  31. incorrect: otherwise put your compiler exactly in the same place where
  32. your book deserves to go :-)
