Remove hint.html and index.html
As per discussions on GitHub the index.html and hint.html files should be deleted in favour of README.md files (from any .text/.txt/.markdown/.md files which will be turned into README.md in an upcoming commit).

<h2>Judges' comments:</h2>
|

|
||||
<h3>To build:</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>make robison
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>To run:</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>./robison
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Try:</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>echo '1*2*3*4*5*6*7*8*9%1000' | ./robison
|
||||
echo '100000000000000000000*(20*(1+(99477941840441*50)))/31664812345028528' | ./robison

<h3>Selected Judges Remarks:</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Of integers this prog does a lot,
|
||||
plus minus, div times (and what not).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>And modulus if remainders the needing,
|
||||
on standard input percent be feeding.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>More than one line can thru give input,
|
||||
when interactive one values more than thruput.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>With cut and paste and some time,
|
||||
one can compute M(23209).</p>

<h2>Author’s comments:</h2>

<h2>Oh, The Strings You Can C!</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I love the C language; its tersness is tops.<br>
|
||||
But the thing I abhor is numerical ops!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>No shifting, division, remainder, or times.<br>
|
||||
No increment, decrement, or subscripting blech,<br>
|
||||
No addition, subtraction, or bitwise bool glop.<br>
|
||||
As for pointer arithmetic – totally yech!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>But I do have a pref'rence, for pointer deref'rence.<br>
|
||||
I find NOTS are a bang, and relations a ball.<br>
|
||||
I like calling routines, and recursions in essence. <br>
|
||||
But the thing I like MOST is a string dot h CALL!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>With mem copy I copy, and mem set I clear. <br>
|
||||
Take string len of this, and string copy that.<br>
|
||||
From my keyboard I pause, to hear subroutines dear: <br>
|
||||
The bark of string chrr, and the purr of string CAT!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>One tiny detail that could lead to defeat.<br>
|
||||
From where an arg points: string calls only go forth,<br>
|
||||
So how to go back, to be Turing complete?<br>
|
||||
From standard dot H, to the rescue, q SORT!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>My fixation might hint at a textual bent. <br>
|
||||
Does my program compose a tatoo for your shin? <br>
|
||||
Play crosswords or translate from Urdu to Tzouby?<br>
|
||||
To give it a whirl, just punch 2 + 2 in.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can add, do division, and multiply too.<br>
|
||||
Take unary minus and also subtract.<br>
|
||||
Summing hairs of a walrus? No longer a fuss.<br>
|
||||
Parenthetical grouping – no pushing a stack!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Try dividing a googol by one forty three, <br>
|
||||
Subtract an octillion - it’s simply divine.<br>
|
||||
To compute a remainder, inscribe a percent.<br>
|
||||
For the sign of the answer, see C ninety nine!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A hundred and twenty five digits or so,<br>
|
||||
Are the lengthiest figures the program can gnash.<br>
|
||||
Go over that limit, by even a digit: <br>
|
||||
Risk incorrect answers, or witness a crash!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Say, say, does it have octal or binary zen?<br>
|
||||
What about duodecimal, ternary, hex? <br>
|
||||
Try the base as an option (of course in base ten)<br>
|
||||
Any base two to twenty – for that is the specs.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Use lowercase in trans-decimal radix, <br>
|
||||
Divide <em>babbage</em> (in base seventeen) by <em>cafe</em> – <br>
|
||||
a nice <em>fad</em>, but avoid a division by nix: <br>
|
||||
No errant result, but you could wait all day!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To grok the internals, ask Queen Cleopatra,<br>
|
||||
or King Tutankhamun; for him it’s a romp. <br>
|
||||
Addition by cats, and if given two figures,<br>
|
||||
to tell which is bigger, sort down and string CMP!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Unlawful subtraction, a grade school infraction, <br>
|
||||
starts at the left and works to the right. <br>
|
||||
Yet more innovation: like Henry Ford’s cars,<br>
|
||||
With a pound and define, mass production of vars!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The moral is clear, for programmers out there: <br>
|
||||
With the C lib for strings, you can hack with a flair.</p>
