quick programming in c by Peter monadjemi and Eckart Winkler

ive just got this book called quick programming in c and i was surprised to see this in it

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
void main{
printf("Hello world");
}

---

this book is supposed to be ANSI-C but that should mean that void main is ansi-c :confused:

Oh, oh, this book must have been written quickly, too. ;)
The following code is ANSI-C conform:

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
  printf("Hello world");
  return 0;
}

---

i know its wrong but i was surprised to see this in it especially when u see at the back of the book that the authors are windows programmers (95 and NT) and one even writes ,and i quote from the book,"very good articles for computer magazines and books":confused:
just to let ppl know u can buy this book but is NOT ansi-c as they said it :mad:

I've just checked a book I've bought a long time ago: "Teach yourself C in 21 days". I am glad that I've come across this forum because I've just found the following "Hello World" source code in this book:

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
    printf("Hello, World!");
    return 0;
}

---

... and on the back is printed: "Covers all ANSI C Compilers" ...
At least they've included "return 0" in the source code. ;) It seems to be difficult to write an ANSI C conform version of this very tiny program. :rolleyes:
... and the authors are "great" programmers, too, and also write articles for well known computer magazines ...

guess u are right about it:D

Oh man, I can't believe it! I've just checked another book of mine and discovered this ... enjoy :D

Code:

---

/* The hello, world program */

void main(void)
{
    printf("hello, world");
}

---

I wonder how many newbies were frustrated because of compiler errors ... no #include ... *lol*
:p;):D

void mainers are DOOMED according to Salem:cool: so u better run bad authors of c programming books:D :p
