Fix 1998/schnitzi for linux
It segfaulted due to wrong type of a variable. It still crashes under macOS which I will be looking at in the near future but it at least works for linux. I noted in the bugs.md a compiler warning that should not be changed as it's not a bug and in fact 'fixing' it will introduce a bug.

[Cody Boone Ferguson](/winners.html#Cody_Boone_Ferguson) fixed this to work (it
|
||||
segfaulted) under linux. He notes that currently it segfaults under macOS but
|
||||
he'll work on that in the near future.

This is a beautiful program. How can a program with no conditional
|
||||
behavior at all have output which depends on anything?

BTW: the author notes an incredible lipogram story called
|
||||
[Gadsby](https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/47342/pg47342.txt) which has no
|
||||
letter E in the story. He did not note this but it has over 50000 (50 thousand)
|
||||
(!!) words without the letter E which is one of the most common letters!

In literary circles, there is a poetic form called a "lipogram",
|
||||
which is a poem in which a specific letter has been distinctly
|
||||
avoided. This principle can be applied in other ways. For
|
||||
instance, in this paragraph, the vowel which immediately follows
|
||||
't' in the alphabet is nowhere to be seen. There is even an
|
||||
entire novel (E. V. Wright's "Gadsby") in which no word contains
|
||||
the letter 'e'.

The IOCCC has been no stranger to this concept. Several winning
|
||||
entries from years past have accomplished interesting feats while
|
||||
completely avoiding the use of certain C constructs thought to
|
||||
be essential (e.g. 1988's robison.c). If you have to ask why they
|
||||
would do it this way, then this contest just isn't for you.

In continuing with this fine tradition, this program suggests to
|
||||
the ANSI committee some new practical simplifications for the C
|
||||
language. For instance, it appears that CONDITIONAL BRANCHING isn't
|
||||
really necessary. So, we can do away with while, do...while, for,
|
||||
if/else, switch, ?:, or anything else that might cause any kind of
|
||||
nondeterministic jump in the code. There's too much uncertainty
|
||||
in the world anyway.

|

Function parameters and return types just confuse people anyway, so
|
||||
get rid of them. Same with local variables. In fact, all you really
|
||||
need are assignment statements, and maybe one printf() and one goto.

This style of programming is also ideal for systems with limited

memory capacity, since the function call stack never goes beyond
|
||||
a depth of one.

(in this case) five numbers and prints them out sorted. It sorts

looping. To see the resulting program run, redirect the output from
