## Author's remarks:
This program shows that C has many unnecessary constructs, in fact
only "while","--", and ">=" are required. (The two assignments at
the beginning could be avoided if "atoi" was rewritten with this
new paradigm.) Note that the lack of both the controversial "goto"
only `while`,`--`, and `>=` are required. (The two assignments at
the beginning could be avoided if `atoi(3)` was rewritten with this
new paradigm.) Note that the lack of both the controversial `goto`
and assignment statements makes the meaning crystal clear. The current
ANSI committee should look into this practical simplification of C.
