char by char copy

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  int c;
  while ((c = getchar()) != EOF)
    putchar(c);
}

arrays, pointers and structs

#include <stdio.h>

char *spoint="hello";
char sarr[]="hello";
struct strs {
  char s[6];
} sstruct = {"hello"};

void foo(char *s) {
  s[4]=0;
}

  foo(sarr);
  printf("%s %s %s\n", spoint, sarr, sstruct.s);
  bar(sstruct);
  printf("%s %s %s\n", spoint, sarr, sstruct.s);
  // test the following statements, one at a time
  //spoint = sarr;
  //sarr = spoint;
  foo(spoint);
  printf("%s %s %s\n", spoint, sarr, sstruct.s);

iteration and recursion

#include <stdio.h>

struct elem {
  int val;
  struct elem *next;
};

struct elem *head = NULL;

struct elem *rinsert(struct elem *new, struct elem *head) {
  if (head == NULL || new->val < head->val) {

      *pnext != NULL && new->val > (*pnext)->val;
      pnext = &((*pnext)->next))
    ;
  new->next = *pnext;
  *pnext = new;
  return head;
}

    printf("%d ",this->val);
    rprint(this->next);
  }
}

  for ( ; this != NULL; this = this->next)
    printf("%d ",this->val);

struct elem test[]={{5},{3},{9},{1},{7}};
#define NELEM (sizeof(test) / sizeof(struct elem))

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  int i;
  for (i = 0; i < NELEM; i++)
    head = rinsert(&test[i], head);
  rprint(head);
  printf("\n");
  iprint(head);
  printf("\n");
  head = NULL;

    head = iinsert(&test[i], head);
  rprint(head);
  printf("\n");

comma operator

#include <stdio.h>

int slen(char *s) { /* in real programs use strlen instead */
  size_t rval;
  for (rval = 0; *s != 0; s++, rval++)
    ;
  return rval;
}

int ispal(char *s) {
  int i,j;
  for (i=0, j=slen(s)-1; i < j; i++, j--) {
    if (s[i] != s[j])
      return 0;
  }
  return 1;
}

void reverse(char *s) {
  int i,j;
  for (i=0, j=slen(s)-1; i < j; i++, j--)
    s[j] ^= s[i] ^= s[j] ^= s[i];
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[1]) {
  for ( ;argc > 1; argv++, argc--) {
    printf("\"%s\" is%s palindrome\n", argv[1],
        ispal(argv[1])?"":"n't");
    reverse(argv[1]);
    printf("\"%s\"\n", argv[1]);
  }
}

string by value

#include <stdio.h>

int slen(char *s) { /* in real programs use strlen instead */
  int rval;
  for (rval = 0; *s != 0; s++, rval++)
    ;
  return rval;
}

void printxvowel(char v, char *s) {
  int s_len = slen(s);
  char locals[s_len];
  int i;
  for (i=0; i<s_len; i++) {
    switch (s[i]) {
      case 'a':
      case 'e':
      case 'i':
      case 'o':
      case 'u':
        locals[i] = v;
        break;
      default:
        locals[i] = s[i];
        break;
    }
  }
  printf("-> %s\n<- %s\n",s,locals);
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  for ( ; argc > 1; argc--, argv++) {
    printxvowel('a',argv[1]);
    printxvowel('e',argv[1]);
    printxvowel('i',argv[1]);
    printxvowel('o',argv[1]);
    printxvowel('u',argv[1]);
  }
  return 0;
}

test it using "Garibaldi fu ferito, fu ferito ad una gamba, Garibaldi che comanda, che comanda il battaglion" as argv[1].

tables and preprocessor tricks

#include <stdio.h>

#define rows_of(X) (sizeof(X) / sizeof((X)[0]))

#define printTable(X) do { \
    int i; \
    printf("TABLE " #X ": size of element %d\n" \
        "(printed by the line %d of source file %s)\n",  \
        sizeof(*(table ## X)), __LINE__, __FILE__); \
    for (i = 0; i < rows_of(table ## X); i++)  \
      printf(#X " %02d %s\n",i,table ## X [i]); \
    } while (0);

char tableA[][50] = {"Sempre caro mi fu quest'ermo colle,",
  "e questa siepe, che da tanta parte",
  "dell’ultimo orizzonte il guardo esclude."};
char *tableB[] = {"Sempre caro mi fu quest'ermo colle,",
  "e questa siepe, che da tanta parte",
  "dell’ultimo orizzonte il guardo esclude."};

int main(int argc, char *argv[1]) {
  int i;
  printTable(A);
  printf("\n");
  printTable(B);
