(part 4) Dick Heathfield's book errors

[Nomen Nescio]

No errors to report here. It's hard work taking the
nitpick microscope to the CLC Clique's book, but someone
has to do it.

It's occurred to me I haven't properly introduced myself.

/*
* 5-1-2-2-3.c
* Han from China's hello-CLC program.
*
*/

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
printf("Hello, comp.lang.c low-hanging fruit!\n");
printf("No void main() for you today!\n");
}

Shouldn't that be Han's from China ...?

No, but why not ask in alt.english.usage?

No. "Han from China" is a name.

No. "Han from China" is a name.

Maybe it should read "Han Solo from China" huh ;)

How about this line:
Han [,] Solo against the World.
(whereupon the comma is optional, since 'solo' can also mean "alone" or
"lonely" <grin>)
