From 5dea00159cc4e712fad4ea88fb2f4d6c7afbec37 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cody Boone Ferguson <53008573+xexyl@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 3 Apr 2023 04:50:33 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Add a subtlety to 1994/ldb/README.md I noted this subtlety in the log yesterday but it seems that it should be noted in the README.md too. As I noted: if a line is greater than 231 in length if the program chooses that line it might print the first 231 characters or it might print (up to) the next 231 characters and so on. --- 1994/ldb/README.md | 6 ++++-- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/1994/ldb/README.md b/1994/ldb/README.md index 02473a349..e247738cd 100644 --- a/1994/ldb/README.md +++ b/1994/ldb/README.md @@ -16,8 +16,10 @@ void but it was used in a `||` expression. Thus the comma operator was needed. Cody also changed the entry to use `fgets()` instead of `gets()` to make it safe for lines greater than 231 in length. Note that this now prints a newline after the output but this seems like a worthy compromise for making it safer -(fixing it is more problematic than it is worth).
