We add `--tab-stop=8` to all `pandoc(1)` executions in order to set a better tab stop indentation, especially for tab intended code blocks. Changed `bin/pandoc-wrapper.sh` VERSION "1.5.3 2024-03-26" to "1.6 2024-03-31". Fixed `1991/brnstnd/sorta.README.md` so that the sorta code is code blocks. Removed unneeded paragraph group in copyright in `inc/footer.default.html`. Performed `make www` to perform the above and test under macOS.
To build:
make all
To use:
./westley <number>
The number should be greater than 0.
Try:
./try.sh
Alternate code:
The alternate code is provided to show how C changed.
Alternate build:
If you have an old enough compiler try and to see how C has changed over the years:
make alt
Alternate use:
./westley.alt <number>
Judges' remarks:
If you would rather "Daisy" someone other than Westley, rename the program as needed. :-)
Read each block of code as if it were a piece of correspondence. For example, the first block of code would read:
charlie,
doubletime me, OXFACE!
not interested, get out
mainly die, charly, *die*
signed charlotte
The original source had control-L's after each code block. To make it easier on news readers, we converted each control-L to a blank line.
Author's remarks:
This is a "Picking the Daisy" simulation. Now, instead of mangling a daisy, simply run this program with the number of petals desired as the argument.
This is a good counter-example to peoples' complaints that C doesn't have an "English-like" syntax.
Lint complains about everything - null effect, xxx may be used before set, statement not reached, return(e) and return. Lint dumps core on some systems. My personal favorite lint complaint is
"warning: eroticism unused in function main".
Also obviously, (char)lotte and (char*)lie are incompatible types...
