Edit:

I just read you have been registered since January haha longer than me, and i bet no one knew you were a female, but thanks to my thread, now we all know hehe...

Strange, I thought my name would have given away the fact that I am female

Allthough in Friesland (a province in the north of Holland) Anne is a male name, but I thought that was the exeption.

Anne

Well if it's any consolation, I always thought you were a female

Cool

Yes, it is very nice to see another gal in the forums.

I was just reading about how the computer field is saturated with boys, and why there are so little women in it.

Quite an interesting read.... especially given the fact that these two bozo editors were men and they did not even bother to ask a wmoan for her thoughts

Yeah, men can be stupid at times.. that's why I just laugh at myself when I do stupid things..

k, decided I'd add my two bits to the forum. I'm going C code style (ahhh!!)

/* decided to use non define's...for more stack consumption...yum */
char *NAME="Aaron";
int AGE = 19;
char *CITY="Dracut";
char *STATE="MA";

typedef struct dist {
char *name;
int ver;
} OSes;

OSes used[] = {
{"Debian GNU/Linux", 2.2},
{"Redhat Linux", 6.1},
{"Redhat Linux", 7.1}, /* ok, I've got a .1 fetish...sue me */
{"Mandrake Linux", 7.1},
{"LFS", 0}, /* versions aren't really applicable...I didn't follow the book 100%*/
{"OS/2 Warp", 4},
{"Windows NT", 5},
{"Solaris", 2.6}, /* Anyone who uses solaris knows that their versioning system is screwed up */
{"MS-Dos", 6.22} /* I run GeoWorks on that machine */
};

void printOS(OSes os){
printf("OS Name: %s\nVersion: %d\n", os.name, os.ver);
}

void extra_info(){

printf("I've been programming since 1990. However, my computer experiences date back to about 1988 with a WangPC clunking around with it's version of DOS. The first game I ever played on a computer was the Ghostbusters text based RPG. I couldn't get past the first room with the ghost...so shoot me...I was 5. I could at least read the words room and ghost.\n");

printf("If you'd like to see a picture of me, then go to http://www.geocities.com/wholeyfunk/pics/orgcandman.jpg and enjoy. PS: I, un-successfully, attempted to stick my tounge out. Serves me right.\n\n");

}

int main(){
int i;
printf("K, I'm %s! I come from %s, %s. I am %d year(s) old. My editor of choice is EMACS.\n", NAME, CITY, STATE, AGE);
for(i = 0; i < 9; i++) printOS(used[i]);
extra_info();
return 0;
}


Yah...I'm a geek. Hey, at least I'm not so geeky that I repulse women, all the time. But anyway, I'm surprised that there aren't more Massachusetts linux users poking up here. Meh. I guess they all use FreeBSD or something...heh...I only use that on my alpha, sometimes. Anywho, there's my story.

NOTA BENE: If you notice, I managed to accomplish both making myself look weird, and answering the question in an incredibly long post.

So what would happen if I tried to compile that?

It compiles:

Ha, that's wicked. . .I thought it was a joke (obviously I don't program C) . Congrats to orgcandman for such a great post.

Addendum: Well, I don't know if my GCC's standards are too high but it won't compile:

aboutme.c:31: warning: braces around scalar initializer
aboutme.c:31: warning: (near initialization for `used')
aboutme.c:31: invalid initializer
aboutme.c:31: (near initialization for `used')
aboutme.c:31: warning: excess elements in scalar initializer
aboutme.c:31: warning: (near initialization for `used')
aboutme.c:31: warning: excess elements in scalar initializer
aboutme.c:31: warning: (near initialization for `used')

C'est la vie!

Thank you, that's good to hear!

Some great people here!

In my opinion it shouldn't. '2.2' is not an int, for sure.

the output shows the version in int, not floats, so instead of inputing 2.2 into the variable, it only inputs a 2. The compiler will treat them as intergers, obviously because they were declare int.

input:
{"Debian GNU/Linux", 2.2},

output:
OS Name: Debian GNU/Linux
Version: 2
