From 80796f061a801752a1dc3f18fdb671262d16edb8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cody Boone Ferguson <53008573+xexyl@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 18 Apr 2023 11:06:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Proper format fix 1987/korn/README.md I didn't want to look at it properly (and certainly did not want to read it) without seeing if I could figure out what it did on visual inspection (as the judges say very few can) as there are spoilers. I was able to so I now have no problem going through the file properly. --- 1987/korn/README.md | 31 +++++++++++++++++-------------- 1 file changed, 17 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/1987/korn/README.md b/1987/korn/README.md index 549c782e4..9817d1a30 100644 --- a/1987/korn/README.md +++ b/1987/korn/README.md @@ -23,32 +23,35 @@ section right now and see if you are one of the few people who can. Several points are important to understand in this program: -1) What is the symbol 'unix' and what is its value in the program? - Clearly 'unix' is not a function, and since 'unix' is not declared - to be a data type (such as int, char, struct foo, enum, ...) - what must 'unix' be? +1.

David Korn's `/bin/ksh` provides us with a greatly improved version of the /bin/sh. The source for v7's /bin/sh greatly inspired this contest.
