Can a small C program it put at int 19 and look at 0x7c00? This may or
may not be considered a C question I guess. Or is C too small to reside in
MBR?

This seems to be a question about a particular platform. I suggest you ask
your question in a newsgroup that deals specifically with programming for
that platform.

Most C compilers will allow you to set a pointer to an absolute address.
However this is of course completely non-portable, and it might not produce
the results you expect, depending on the system.

Yes, you'll generally be disappointed by the results if you're using a
protected-mode OS. Note, also, that to do this you will require a cast.
(That in itself is often a sign that you're doing something a bit worrisome
- but if you have to hack the hardware under a real-mode OS, it's certainly
a handy port in a storm.)

C-compiler is dependce the OS, C program can't look 0x7c00 under the
protected-mode OS. use real-mode you will get it.

Depends. Some people find dialog boxes advising you about illegal
memory access etc quite exciting....

Hello,
I have a couple of classes where I teach introductory programming using Python. What
I would love to have is for the students to go through a lot of very small programs,
to learn the basic programming structure. Things like, return the maximum in a list,
making lists with certain patterns, very simple string parsing, etc. Unfortunately,
it takes a lot of time to grade such things by hand, so I would like to automate it

My friend sent me the prototype of a game written in C++ and asked for
advice:
IDEA: Game will ask the user to thin of a number. User will press a
keystroke after he has thought of a number. Then program will ask him to
do some little arithmetic and will finally ask for the result. It will
then print what user has thought of.
Here is what I finished with. Any advice is appreciated :)

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
