- What are your answers? (At least your questions seem topical.)
- Once we see your thoughts, we will most likely comment.

- As it stands right now, your message seems to be a "do my homework
- for me please" type post....yet I somehow sense that that's not exactly
- what's going on here. Thanks for advising us about the homework context.
- It helps to know why someone is suddenly so motivated!
-
- And, this is not (only) a C advocacy newsgroup. Critics of C post here
- occasionally, and sometimes their posts are on-topic with respect to
- the comp.lang.c FAQ (which I presume that you have already read).
