C syntax errors

Hi Paul

Thank you for the information.
Yes I also have long ago learnt the principle of keep the code blocks
small enough to fit on one page. (Modern monitors allow a bit too many
lines)

I have never had to compile repeatedly using stubs to link to functions,
procedures not yet coded. But now it is very clear why and how one
would need to code this way and compile repeatedly.

I am making some progress with K&R exercise 5.20, If I ever get it
working I will post it and see the feedback.
(I am prepared to be embarrassed)

Regards
Frank Kolmann

Hi Frank

When you suggest to use small fragments, I think you are on the right
way... but for me, this is independant of the language...
I try to never write a program/sub program/subroutine/paragraph/function
longer than 20 lines... (my guideline is "do not use roll up/PageDown
key")
and I do not spare computer time : I invoke the compiler at every new
routine... It ensures that any syntax problem is is my last 20 lines of
code....

of course when you write very low level code (drivers, encryption, etc...
) performance must be considered ,but optimization is a next step.


Kind Regards, thank you,
Paul
