There are many different Cs, and if you choose the wrong one, you risk
physical injury. One way is to find a friend with a piano, and have
her repeatedly hit one of the C keys. Hum with it until you get the
tone, then try speaking "Je t'aime' in the same tone.

 

[Walter Roberson]

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
puts("I love you.");
return 0;
}

Careful, the "I love you." might get lost, covered over by the next
prompt, or lost in the filesystem. To avoid undesirable behaviour,
add in a \n to the string.

Send your life savings to Dennis Ritchie. I am sure he will feel
loved, as long as you don't transfer debt to him.

puts, not printf.

prompt, or lost in the filesystem. To avoid undesirable behaviour,
add in a \n to the string.

puts() always adds a newline.

Careful, if you don't pay attention to the posted code you might
confuse a function that automatically prints a \n with one that doesn't
and say something silly.

I'm not sure what you are trying to show here, have you also confused
printf() with puts()? puts() writes a newline character after the
given string, printf() does not. The original program to which Walter
objected used puts().

You're missing the point. The omission of a newline enables us to write
sentences with the output combined with the command line prompt ;-)

If a system requires the last line of a text stream
to be newline terminated, as a system may,
then the omission of a newline, means that there is no line of text.

If you want a sweet gift for a programming boyfriend, look up the obfuscated
C contest. (Google).

There are lots of ways of producing a program that prints the output "I love
you" in interesting ways.
For instance you could create a series of #defines to make the source code
into the shape of a heart.
