As I remember, the Danes said they would not vote for the C++ standard unless trigraphs were included. Ironically, that is Bjarne Stroustrup's homeland.

I think you meant printf(”%d”, 0[i]); Although it looks almost right, since 'i' is usually used for indices. litb, that’s wrong. I think you meant

printf(”%d”, 0[i]);

Although it looks almost right, since ‘i’ is usually used for indices.

I wouldn't like to maintain code containing this myself, at all :-) Looks like some people might have misread the title, it says ‘Funky C’, not ‘Funny C’.

printf(“%d”, [i]0);

(wow, though, I actually learned C before C99 had been adopted as by ANSI.) Using a combination of digraphs and trigraphs in the same file is of course eeeeeevil. - Chris They taught us C trigraphs at university during introductory C courses less than ten years ago.
