Welcome to C! Tiny suggestion to add to other comments: value
is already Boolean, so there's no need to write if (value == 1)
, you can just write if (value)
. Similarly, following @chamaeleon@kbin.social's suggestion of using the ternary operator, you can write return value ? "Yes" : "No";
.
Well done. Keep on practising and improving and your life will change. C is love, C is life.
Your code raised a question that never came to my mind before. What actually happens here? To my understanding there are two strings "Yes" and "No" within the scope of this function. But are they accessible from outside of the function?
After looking it up, it appears to be totally valid: Lifetime of a string literal in C That's probably what's implied in the comment line directly above the if.
Congrats on your first program!
I thought it would be "hello world".
C Programming Language
Welcome to the C community!
C is quirky, flawed, and an enormous success.
... When I read commentary about suggestions for where C should go, I often think back and give thanks that it wasn't developed under the advice of a worldwide crowd.
... The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.
