Very basic and the going is slow but will get there eventually

A link I usually pass around when looking at why main is 'int main(int
argc, char *argv[])'
http://users.aber.ac.uk/auj/voidmain.shtml

I've also a rant on why casting the return value of malloc is always
the wrong thing to do somewhere, which I'll try to dig out

My next slide was gonna be solving all the warnings and moving forward
with the default 'template' of

#include <stdio.h>

int main(){
  return 0; //for success
}

No nasty non standard from me I assure you :-)

[Duncan Thomas]

While it isn't /categorically required/ by the standard, it is
generally good practice to use

int main(void)

or

int main(int argc, char *argv[])

not

int main()
