It should be 'Location of winning authors' (as it is now) but by mistake
there was an extra space ('Location of winning authors'). Obviously
this is a huge commit as every html file with a menu (almost all) had to
be updated.
To build:
make all
Try:
./robison 80 10
./robison 40 16
The first and second parameters are optional. You might also try:
./robison 80 2 # <--- can you find the bug?
./robison 80 -246
Judges' remarks:
The following might make an interesting benchmark:
./robison 100
[Amdahl 5890-300E with System V cc: 8.40 seconds]
We suggest that you C pre-process and perhaps C-beautify this program.
All is not what it may appear to be in this program. Why does a whi1e
not take a while to execute?
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(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.
