Stupid C Book
This is a direct quote from the textbook for my C programming class:
All I'm going to say is that this programming class is a very good lesson in how to keep my mouth shut.
Most programming languages have three strateges for inter-function communication: pass by value, pass by reference, and return. The C language, unfortunately, uses only the first and last strategies; there is no pass by reference in C. (Computer Science: A Structured Programming Approach Using C 3rd ed. pg. 176)I just do not know where these people get off. If passing a pointer isn't pass by reference, I don't quite know what is. This is all completely insane! Thank god I'm heading off for Portola in 30 hours.
