I think listfilter mangled the code...


It should be:

/*
Find at least 4 different ways to change only one
character in the C code below so it will print the
minus sign "-" 20 or 21 times only.
*/

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
  int i, n= 20; /*= 20 was changed to a space!*/
  for(i=0; i<n; i--) printf("-");
  return 0;
}
