Okay. I'm quite embarased to be asking this but I cannot seem to get
files to work. I don't know what the problem is. Is there something
wrong with this: (file related)
#include <stdio.h>
main() {
FILE *pfsin;
pfsin = fopen("msm.pfs" , "r");
char mystr[100];
fscanf(pfsin, "%s", mystr);
fclose(pfsin);
}
Thanks in advanced, but I have seen several examples of code that looks
EXACLTY like this, and for some reason my compiler is giving me
rediculus errors.

pete - that jibes pretty well with my experience, too, although I'd have put the probability somewhat higher.
Since any given statement either is or is not a problem, any given statement has a 50% chance of being the problem.
If you truly believe that two mutually exclusive possibilities are necessarily of equal probability, I offer you the following bet:
Given suitable precautions to prevent cheating, you will put down $5000 and I will put down $10000 - so there's $15000 on the table - and then a trusted third party will put a hundred fair coins (one side heads, the other side tails) into a sack, shake 'em around a bit, and then spill them onto a tabletop. Either they will all come out heads, or they won't, so that's 50-50, right? So - if they all come down heads, you get to keep the $15000, despite only a $5000 stake. That's good odds for you. If the other 50% chance happens, though, I get the $15000 instead.
Deal?
Well, I don't think my statement works given real probability analysis. (It
was late and the 50% chance comment just struck me as funny) However, I
also don't think your bet is strictly analogous to what I said. I didn't
say the whole program is either all right or all wrong. I said any given
line theoretically has a 50% chance of being right or wrong. Your bet, were
it analogous, would be that any given coin has a 50% chance of being either
heads or tails. But I would imagine the actual probability of any given
line of code being right or wrong is based on the person doing the coding,
the language, the complexity of the program, the emotional state of the
person, etc.

No, it doesn't.

But in fact, if we know there is one bug in an N-line program, then (if
that's all the information we have to go on) each line has a 1/N
probability of containing that bug. 1/N is only 50% if it's a two-line
program.

Hello
I see there is now why to truncate a file (in C or C++)
and that I have to use platform-specific functions for
truncating files.
Anyone knows why ? I mean C/C++ evolved over many years now,
and still, people making _the_ standards never decided to
include such a function. Even in POSIX it was included only
in recent versions, mostly not fully supported yet.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
