>>Are you going to put this in the FAQ thoug
When it's ready, it will go in here. But with such a big and complex article, its always good to get it proof read first.
>>These ASCII drawings don't even come close to doing the algorithm justice
Maybe we could do something about that when I put it in the FAQ.
When all else fails, read the instructions.
If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
>Perhaps: ...implementation is arbitrarily as long... ?
No, that would make the sentence incomprehensible.
>was successfully added for simplicity's sake
I don't like either, so I'll use "was succssfully added for the sake of simplicity".
>A reference (to Knuth; book, paper, other publication?) would be nice.
Done, good idea.
>nitty-gritty would, arguably, be better.
The dictionary agrees with you, so I'll change that.
>Save the damned what?
damned: 1) Condemned, especially to eternal punishment.
>Well, I would spell colouration somewhat differently...
I pick one style to avoid issues like this. Both are correct, so it's a matter of opinion.
All of the other changes I'll make as well. Thanks for taking the time to proofread my hurried mistakes.
>Maybe we could do something about that when I put it in the FAQ.
I'll see if I can come up with something presentable.
My best code is written with the delete key.

That's good but, you know, successfully might work better.

Hey does this mean there is going to be an up to date C and C++ tutorial?

Prelude,
Nice tutorial
Have you ever thought to publish a textbook?
I am currently working on one in C# programming which is due out at the beginning of next year.
This experience has been an eye opening one for me.
You seem to have great style, may have to clean up some of the language...
I sure you have looked, at what is out currently in C books. Most are primarily reference, few are actual textbooks.
Anyway, I know the contacts at 3 of the publishers of CS books in the US... let me know if interested.
Mr. C: Author and Instructor
Prelude if you write a book, I'll buy it. :d
