    Hello,

    » Obfuscated code, for instance, looks like this in general. To best describe Obfuscated code, I would say it is a "concealment of evidence" and harder to "reverse engineer".

    » Well, as of the moment, I believe the answer is yes. Just use standard C functions and calls and it should compile without a problem on any C compiler.

    » It can be done either way. ASCII art is cool, and I would definetly have to give extra bonus points for that.

    » Sounds like a good idea. This way we can all see multiple ways to making a Hello World program.


    - Stack Overflow
    Segmentation Fault: I am an error in which a running program attempts to access memory not allocated to it and core dumps with a segmentation violation error. This is often caused by improper usage of pointers, attempts to access a non-existent or read-only physical memory address, re-use of memory if freed within the same scope, de-referencing a null pointer, or (in C) inadvertently using a non-pointer variable as a pointer.
