<pre><code> ./robison 80 10
./robison 40 16</code></pre>
<p>The first and second parameters are optional. You might also try:</p>
<pre><code> ./robison 80 2 # &lt;--- can you find the bug?
./robison 80 -246</code></pre>
<h2 id="judges-remarks">Judges’ remarks:</h2>
<p>The following might make an interesting benchmark:</p>
<pre><code> ./robison 100</code></pre>
<p>[Amdahl 5890-300E with System V cc: 8.40 seconds]</p>
<p>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 <code>whi1e</code>
not take a while to execute?</p>
<h2 id="authors-remarks">Author’s remarks:</h2>
<p>This program shows that C has many unnecessary constructs, in fact
only <code>while</code>,<code>--</code>, and <code>&gt;=</code> are required. (The two assignments at
the beginning could be avoided if <code>atoi(3)</code> was rewritten with this
new paradigm.) Note that the lack of both the controversial <code>goto</code>
and assignment statements makes the meaning crystal clear. The current
ANSI committee should look into this practical simplification of C.</p>
