"It is practically impossible to teach good programming style to students that have had prior exposure to BASIC; as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration." -- Professor Edsger Dijkstra

C

What can one say about C?

Well, I started using it when poking around on our second-hand 286. I had a habit of trawling the hard disk for interesting programs and trying to figure out what they did...

I had absolutely no idea what Borland Turbo C was; in fact, I very nearly deleted it in order to reclaim some space. There were a few demo programs with it, however... and via those I very, very slowly figured out how it worked.

This probably shows somewhat in my coding style -- the early programs were rather incomprehensible. Indenting? What's that?...

These programs can be run, if you feel the need to run them, using DOSBox.
