== "Hello world" example using puts() instead? ==

I think it makes more sense to use the <code>puts</code> function instead of <code>printf</code>, as the "\n" is not necessary. I have seen <code>printf</code> used in every example I can remember, however. Edit it if you think it's a good idea though.

: "Hello World" isn't intended as an optimized demonstration of the most efficient way of printing that string to the screen. It's just a standard way of showing a minimal program in a given language using the most common calls. A lot (and I mean A LOT) of people have dinked with the code. The way it is is the standard way that it's shown in all the C standard books. Leave it be. - [[User:Richfife|Richfife]] ([[User talk:Richfife|talk]]) 05:22, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
