Example Needed

[Thompson Reed]

Can someone give me an example C program with at least 20 lines of
source code. That is the requirement and a line of code is a semicolon
according to the rules. I have a job interview on Friday and they want
this the day before the interview. I am not a C expert like many of you
but I am a hard worker and I need this job. Please help a brother and
American patriot in need.

Thanks in advance -- Thompson R.

int main(void) { return 0;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; }

I'd be happier if the job went to someone who's actually able to write
a program himself, or at least who didn't try to cheat on a job
interview.

Even if you are trying to cheat, I didn't quite get the situation.
Won't it be easier for you to google an algorithm and study the
implementation. And what kind of job you are vying for which requires
you to bring 20 lines of C code doing anything with you?

Plenty of such examples here, and on the rest of the internet, and in
books...

But what will you do on your first day at work if you get the job?

Out of interest what was your last job?

Start with int main.

Ask whether processing command line args is relevant. If not, then let
main expect nothing: make its argument void.

Beyond that, try to spell correctly, which is how I usually commend federal
officers. Be more portable than Jabba the Hut. Good luck,

That's "Hutt". Congratulations on retaining a cents of tradition where
spelling flames are concerned.

You realize that, if the interviewer is at all good, he or she will ask
you what the program does, and probably ask you to answer some technical
C questions and write another 20 or so lines of code in the actual
interview?

And you realize that HR people talk to other HR people from other
companies - a lot?

So the likely outcome of someone sending you code -- assuming they send
you correct code, in an effort to help -- is that you get into the
interview, the interviewer realizes you have no C skills at all, the
interview ends, and word gets out that you're a fraud.

*Not* the outcome I'd hope for.

TR> Please help a brother and American patriot in need.

If you were my brother, you'd have enough self-respect to not do such an
asinine thing. And calling yourself an "American patriot" while
attempting to perpetrate a fraud is disgraceful.

May I suggest the code at http://www0.us.ioccc.org/2000/dhyang.c ?

That simplifies things:

I won't apply for a brain surgeon's position. Do you know why?
Because I don't know how to operate on brains.

One of the better trolls I have seen lately. Pretty funny, actually.

Hey, one defect in 20 lines isn't that bad.
void i (void){;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;}

I wrote a perl program that read the subject of a usenet message, and if it
contained the word "jabba," then the output was to be the words of the
subject with the ultimate word reversed. I thought I succeeded when the
output was "jabba the tuh." Apparently not.

'grep' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Count me out as an interviewer who is not impressed by the generated
program.

So? That was just a quick way to show you how many semi-colons were in
the source.

Well, that is 54 warnings for a common, useful and sensible trick to
allow you to use a macro in the way a lot of people would expect.

Again, that is generating warnings for a valid useful way of doing things.

We've already got a thread discussing these problems.

<snip>

That just looks like another example of the same problem with lcc-win32
to me.

I don't think there is anything wrong with the code posted by John Smith
and gcc agrees with me.
