economizing with functions that do the same thing

[Your Uncle]

Dan might have been referring to functions you would have to pass along
with the type to do whatever the action is.

For example in you print_a_something case, you would have to pass in the
something and a function to return the the appropriate format string.
If the something was more complex than a POD, a function to do the
printing would be required.

He's thinking down the hall. Since Keith Thompson shit all over my thread,
and no one wants to cross him, I think I'm looking for the exit sign. I use
aliases to protect both the innocent and not-so-very. This was a big issue
for me until I satisfied the statue in <limits.h> . My good friend Carl is
my attorney bernie, with whose friends I'm impressed. My brother is
Thunderfist, a former federal agent whose backyard is San Diego (diligence).
Since my c endeavors have ground to a halt at least for lack of comment and
a sore clickerfinger, I'll gear up for next month for when he comes to town
to lose a basketball game and query how to boost my projects. Black Ford

What relevance did that drivel have to my response?

I think the point that Frank was trying to make,
is that he's insane.

I'm responding to this only because you mentioned my name.

I have no clue what you're talking about. Fortunately, I don't care.

This is not your thread. The fact that you posted the original
article doesn't give you any kind of ownership. I don't know what you
think I did to this thread. If you'd care to explain without being
incoherent or offensive, I'll read what you have to say about it. (If
you're referring to the error I made in listing someone else's name as
one of your pseudonyms, I've already acknowledged that, and you
weren't the victim of my mistake anyway.)

I have no idea why you're telling us about your friend Carl or your
brother. We discuss the C programming language here. If you insist
on talking about whatever the hell you're talking about, I encourage
you to do it elsewhere. Nobody else cares.

I've already explained why your use of multiple pseudonyms is a
problem, and I have nothing to add to that.

The exit sign is easy to find. If you want to leave, all you have to
do is stop posting.

I doubt that I'll bother responding to you again.

I appreciate your Einsatz and never forget a kindness. I've hit day's end
with my compiler:
/* Text1.c */
# include "Text2.h"
#define MILL (.001)
int fu(int, int);
int main(void)
{
unsigned long g = 15, un_long_dummy, r = 0, s = 0;
int m = 3, n = 17000, mean_less_one, t;
srand(time(NULL));
mean_less_one = (n - m) / 2;
printf("mu is %d\n" , mean_less_one);

for (un_long_dummy = 0; un_long_dummy < g; ++ un_long_dummy)
{
t = fu(m, n);
/* printf("tja"); */
if (t <= mean_less_one) ++ r;
else ++ s;
}
printf("r is %ul while s is %ul\n", r, s);
return 0;
}
int fu(int m, int n)
{
int t;
t = rand();
/* printf("tja"); */
return t;
}
/* end .c */
I don't see why r and s do not add to g here. I could talk about it but it
would only reveal the thickheadedness that motivates the question. I know
that there was some talk about unsigned longs and zero. I would certainly
hope that Mr. Ritchie had the foresight to include the additive identity of
the ring of integers in the datatype. So, I'm forced to believe that I'm
cross-eyed. gruss, furunculus

What do you think %ul means? What is the correct format conversion
for unsigned long? This probably wouldn't have confused you if ell
didn't look so much like one.

I've come to that conclusion as well, all his various personalities are
heading for the bozo bin.
