The Boston Diaries

The ongoing saga of a programmer who doesn't live in Boston, nor does he even like Boston, but yet named his weblog/journal “The Boston Diaries.”

Go figure.

99 ways to program a hex, Part 3: C89 in K&R style

To separate the style from the version, here's the program, written in C89, using the K&R style.

We have function prototypes, and more appropriate typedefs for some of the variables, but in the K&R style (ick). Lots of software is still written using this style, like Linux, on the grounds that if it was Good Enough™ for Kernighan and Ritchie, then it's Good Enough™ for the rest of us, never mind that Kernighan and Ritchie wrote their software on teletypes, which is near enough to a manual typewriter hooked up to a computer that if I used one, I would try to type as little as possible myself. But personally, I don't use a teletype; I use a real keyboard and a huge monitor with a small font, so I find little use for the K&R style.

You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go ahead, I won't bite. I promise.

The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent links to that entry only. The format for the links are simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are interested in, say 2000/08/01, so that would make the final URL:

https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01

You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.

You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that important.

It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name, symbol, design element, et cetera mentioned in these pages is a protected and/or trademarked entity, the sole property of its owner(s), and acknowledgement of this status is implied.
