    If condition

    How the if condition works here?????????

    Code:
    void main()
    {
    	int i;
    	char a[]="\0";
    	if(printf("%s\n",a))
    		printf("Ok here \n");
    	else
    		printf("Forget it\n");
    }

    are you testing any condition here? i think you should go and review some example snippets and just google usage / construction of if statements.

    printf returns the number of characters printed. Since it prints '\n', the result is one and the condition is always true.
    I might be wrong.

    Thank you, anon. You sure know how to recognize different types of trees from quite a long way away.
