I'm not a professional developer, but I found this C quiz interesting. There are a couple of gotchas in there.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I typed in the following:

1. 1. int c;
      c = 0; ## and after the second line I got an error saying "C++ requires a type specifier for all declarations".

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Okay, now something is really squirrelly. On my last post this is what was in the edit box:

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I typed in the following:\\ 
## 
int c;\\ 
c = 0; 
## 
and after the second line I got an error saying "C~++ requires a type specifier for all declarations". 

And this is what the preview looked like:

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I typed in the following: 
int c; 
c = 0; 
 
and after the second line I got an error saying "C++ requires a type specifier for all declarations". 

But now, when Matt quotes it some of the formatting is different. ?!?

Wrap it in a function like main().

int main(void) { 
int c; 
c = 0; 
 
return c; 
} 
 

I also found that you want to make sure to change or delete the compiler options field when trying different targets -- at first I thought that some of them weren't working but it was because the specific targets didn't understand the "-march=native" switch.

Edit: As I've been messing with C files doing experiments, I keep running into pitfalls like C has no top-level statements and that printf() does not take '1' as its first argument!

9. Formatting options

So the ##code text## actually means monospaced text. Does it have to be bracketed by the ##'s? And does it all have to be strung together without returns/line feeds?

You can

put stuff on multiple lines, and it's like any other bit of creole text.

1. 1. #

But if you add whitespace after the opening number signs, it gets interpreted as a numbered list. If you're going to post code, I suggest using eucode tags. It will syntax highlight for euphoria. You might prefer to post stuff in other languages inside the triple braces. They are the equivalent of pre html tags. I tend to use them for console output.
