- The most difficult thing for me was to understand that given a declaration
- like
- int a[10];
-
- both the following are correct:
- a[6] = ....;
- 6[a] = ....;
-
- One person made the comment,' so much for learning a higher level language
- before C'.
- While that may be debated, there is some truth in it.
- That's my $0.02 worth.
