K&R2 exercise 1.17 solution

[arnuld]

there is a solution on "clc-wiki" for exercise 1.17 of K&R2:

http://clc-wiki.net/wiki/K%26R2_solu..._1:Exercise_17
i see this uses pointers whereas K&R2 have not discussed pointers yet.
i have created a solution myself by modifying the example programme of
section 1.19.

i tried to find the source-code of K&R2 using Google. i found the home
page of K&R2 but not he source-code of book. since my solution is a
modified version of the example programme from the book i wan to know
i can submit that solution to clc-wiki.

does anybody have any idea about this ?

It doesn't use pointer notation for array access. It uses array
indexing notation only. The parameters for the functions can easily be
replaced by char buffer[] without any change.

It's impossible to use arrays without using pointers, whether it's
visible or not. The example you've cited does not use pointer
notation, so your complaint is invalid.

Do you mean the sources for the programs given in the book? Why do you
need them separately? Just extract them from the book itself.

Yes, first register on the site, then contact one of the admins,
(Flash Gordon or Netocrat.)

I think that if you include an appropriate acknowledgement it would be
allowable under the "fair usage" rules of copyright assuming the book
does not explicitly disallow it.

Note that some books do explicitly say what you are and are not allowed
to do with the source code they present.

I would, of course, take seriously any complaints from the author or
publisher of any book or code. I make my living from writing software so
I can understand their points!
