Do you think it's good to use /Evolution for writing down the changes, or /K and R C will suffice? Thanks, Uriyan

Actually I don't think either topic deserves a sub-page. I think a section on the main page would do. --drj


=== Eccentricity ===
In C, the months of the year are numbered wrong. They are all low by 1. For example: January is month 0. December is month 11. This is not an obvious problem to English-speakers, but if your native language uses numbers to name the months of the year...

Numbering from 0 is not eccentricity. It's how computers think. --Taw

That also has nothing at all to do with the C language, but with the standard libraries--that distinction should be made. --LDC

I don't even think thats an eccentricity since its fairly common in programming to do it that way --Alan D
