online C programming test

[E. Robert Tisdale]

Does anyone know where I can find a good online C programming test?
I used Google to search for

"C programming test"

and found lots of stuff but the first several pages were disappointing.

Not wanting to defend Mr ERT, I must regretfully say that most GPL code I
have seen looks worse. Moreover it is usually highly non-portable. Is there
a clause in GPL that I missed that says that the source must be unreadable?

Ah, I'm relieved to hear it's not just me. I _though_ C didn't have to
look like that.

Do you have any good counterexamples? I'd like to take a look at some
real quality C code someday.

IMHO, Busybox and the Linux kernel each contain a lot of high-quality
C code. Being real-world projects with contributions from many people,
they _also_ contain a lot of hack-quality code and system extensions
from standard C. I trust you will be able to tell which is which. ;-)

Your example is seriously flawed.
Either you are an incompetent C programmer
or your example was a "test" of subscribers' C programming skills.
My guess is that the former (and not the latter) is correct.

1. obvious troll handle: MSG
2. disposable email address: yahoo.com
3. contentious subject: test failure
designed to provoke an emotional response
4. doesn't participate or take a position
in the discussion (remains "aloof").

Please learn to recognize (and ignore) trolls.

Dear Sir,

Thank you very much for the timely troll alert, and please accept my
most sincere apologies for all of my misdeads.

What misdeeds?

All of them.
All you did was try to stick up for ERT - and look how he
treats you in return! But fear not - you are in rather good company.
I just knew my constant trolling and total incompetence as a C
programmer would pay off one day!
Several clueful regular contributors to this newsgroup have been called
trolls by ERT. It's his substitute for technical argument.
