hello_world.c

cat hello_world.c
#include <stdio.h>

    printf ("Hello World!\n");

Hello World!

I have started playing with C recently. I am still finding it annoying, yet enjoyable at the same time. The PHP developers have spoilt me (and other PHP coders). PHP gives you most of the power of C, without having to deal with annoying string handling, easy arrays, memory management and having to build to test. I am sure there is more.

Unlike OS X, I think I will persist with C.

Other than reminding myself of how to do hello world in C, why did I post this? I thought you would never ask, it is because my blog is now syndicated on Planet Linux Australia. I am pretty honoured by being added. Hopefully there are others who appreciate my rants 🙂
