It is quite late over here, but would you mind explaining yourself a bit further?

Or if you know any good reading material, I would love it if you could point me in the right direction.

I have been searching for info on Big Endian v. Little Endian, but the information I have found so far has has mostly been pretty vague.

I know with big endian a single byte will have 8 bits from...

I believe what I want to learn is called pre-algebra, the basic stuff.
The URLs that claudiu and Subsonics gave me look sufficient for now, if it's not I guess I'm going to have to look for a...

If the book required even semi-advanced calculations I would assume they would put it on the cover and I wouldn't even touch it. Well, I'd take a look but I doubt I would really take it as a learning...

You are right, I have been a bit double about that.
I didn't necessarily have the idea that C itself requires (a lot of) math, but I am afraid that I will get into trouble when I start reading/using...

Funny enough the paradox is that I am interested in math, I find it pretty fascinating.



No thanks ;) I like my sanity, it makes me happy.



It's not that I think I must know it for C but...

Absolutely, I don't know exactly why but math has always scared me.
On more than one occasion I have tried to learn basic math and failed because at the start it all seems logical and I can follow...

Thanks for the pick-me-up, claudiu, I needed that =)
I'll take a better look at the link tomorrow since it's pretty late over here, but it looks like what I was looking for.




You are...

I'm kind of ashamed to admit it but I never really had any school, and because of that I never learned any math.
And I'm talking about none, zero, zip, dd if=/dev/null of=/proc/math_skills.

Hrm, I think I'll just have to dump C For Dummies.
Another book I'm interested in is Beginning C, by Ivor Horton

I don't know if you where writing the reply before I edited in the quote, but the author literaly says
"The ampersand is required here to help scanf() find the location of the string variable in...

Strange, a few paged later the author goes a bit further into scanf() and after going through a few aspects of the scanf() function (is that the correct term?) I see this halfway through:

Thanks for the advice Tool, removing the & operator shut my compiler right up.
In a few months I will come back and know what the rest is you said ;)

Strange that it did work for you Flexo..

The book C for Dummies 2nd Edition is has been pretty good for me for the first three chapters, but now I got to a point where I would swear that the book has it wrong, hence me posting this.
