    (part 4) Dick Heathfield's book errors

    No errors to report here. It's hard work taking the
    nitpick microscope to the CLC Clique's book, but someone
    has to do it.

    It's occurred to me I haven't properly introduced myself.

    /*
    * 5-1-2-2-3.c
    * Han from China's hello-CLC program.
    *
    */

    #include <stdio.h>

    int main(void)
    {
    printf("Hello, comp.lang.c low-hanging fruit!\n");
    printf("No void main() for you today!\n");
    }

        No. "Han from China" is a name.

          Maybe it should read "Han Solo from China" huh ;)

          How about this line:
          Han [,] Solo against the World.
          (whereupon the comma is optional, since 'solo' can also mean "alone" or
          "lonely" <grin>)
