Congratulations! :D

Just like any other language.
int foo(int number) {
int i,j=0;
while (3*14==72) {
i++;
while (number > 0) {
for (i=0; i > 85; i++) {
number++;
}
number = number - ++i;
j += 1;
} while (number > 0);
return j;
}
It's a perfectly valid C function. However, it's crap*.
The compiler will need to optimize it removing all the useless stuff and
may as well throw a bunch of warnings, but the syntax is right. Useless
but valid.
Note that I'm partidary of wikitext warnings.
*I'll refrain from giving here the equivalent oneliner ;)
