    C programming question


    What kind of coffee do C programmers drink, and why?

    Me, for breakfast I usually drink green tea, but when programming
    in C, I drink extra strong Espresso without milk and sugar, except
    when programming in C++, then I make it twice as strong and add 10 cl
    of Jim Beam.

    How do other C programmers prefer their coffee when programming?

    The C standards do not refer to coffee or drinking, so your posting
    is not appropriate for this newsgroup. Please refer to a newsgroup
    that deals with the operating system for whatever kind of body you
    are using.

      Somebody picked some red beans from a tree. Then they dried them in the
      sun. Then they burned them in a fire. Then they boiled them in some water.
      Then they threw away the beans and drank the water. You've got to think
      that undefined behavior was involved in there someplace.

        I prefer a rich Columbian blend of Arabica coffees served with sugar and
        cream. I do admire your choice of Jim Beam, the finest Bourbon made.

          Yeah, but why _ruin_ it with coffee?

            Coffee tends to cause need to fflush() more often. Usually this
            means leaving the keyboard. At this point, you have invoked the
            wrath of undefined hehavior.

                    Try alt.lang.java.c ool.folklore. But first read their FAQ.

                      I generally drink a rich, full-bodied Columbian, freshly ground of
                      course. Usually filtered, but occasionally percolated for added
                      strength.
