You can assign an char to a integer, integer to a char. Do a unstructured goto like in other languages or do a sophisticated goto like longjmp(). How easy you find a language, depends on how you learnt it and how much passion you have for it. For me 'C' is like poetry. Just do an strace on a perl program and an equivalent 'C' program and you will be surprised to find the amount of gunk that is there in the higher level languages. e.g. You can take the following 'C' program as an example. Write the same in perl and enjoy the gunk that comes out. int main(int argc, char **argv, char **envp) { __write(1, "hello world\n", 12); } -- Regards Manvendra - http://www.indimail.org _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
