I recall someone posting a website that had the complete K&R (2nd Ed.
- ANSI) answers posted but I cannot find the post.

Not complete (if I recall correctly) - but the Web site you're looking for
is:

Do you mean /The C Answer Book/ by Clovis & Tondo?

Solutions to some of the exercises in K&R2, contributed by various clc
participants.

There's a worthwhile hard-copy available. _The C Solution Book_ About 3/8"
thick and fewer errata than the covers of Unleashed.

I'm curious what's at that link.

I bookmarked the resource. It will save me occasionally from the abuse of
having to straighten out my C syntax here.

#from the site
The folks in comp.lang.c may tend to come across as Standard-thumping
fundamentalists, continuing to insist, with ramrod-straight demeanor, that
all code be strictly conforming, as if it's only important for its own sake.
But the insistence is not merely for its own sake: much more importantly,
it's for the sake of code that's correct, not just in the ANSI C Standard
sense, but in the much more important "works reliably in the real world"
sense. As Steve Summit wrote on an occasion when this issue came up, "I'm
not a Standard-thumping fundamentalist who worships at the altar of X3J11
because I'm an anal-retentive dweeb who loves pouncing on people who
innocently post code containing void main() to comp.lang.c; I'm a
Standard-thumping fundamentalist who worships at the altar of X3J11 because
it gives me eminently useful guarantees about the programs I write and helps
me ensure that they'll work correctly next week and next month and next
year, in environments I haven't heard of or can't imagine or that haven't
been invented yet, and without continual hands-on bugfixing and coddling by
me.
#end excerpt

Richard refers to the standard in the singular here. I think a lot of
questions get caught in the crosshairs between standards. What catches my
eye though is 3J as oppsoed to J3. Does X3J11 actually exist?

I don't remember writing the above, and I'm reasonably sure I /didn't/
write the above. Any of it. The second half of it appears to have been
written by Steve Summit (presumably in a Usenet article). And the first
half? Well, I *might* have written it, but I don't think so.

It certainly did, because it was the ANSI Committee that produced the C89
Standard. Whether it still does, I have no idea.

Well about a K&R2 exercise posted in another thread. I think the answer:

http://clc-wiki.net/wiki/K%26R2_solu...r_2:Exercise_1

#include <stdio.h>
#include <limits.h>

int
main ()
{
printf("Size of Char %d\n", CHAR_BIT);
printf("Size of Char Max %d\n", CHAR_MAX);
printf("Size of Char Min %d\n", CHAR_MIN);
printf("Size of int min %d\n", INT_MIN);
printf("Size of int max %d\n", INT_MAX);
printf("Size of long min %ld\n", LONG_MIN); /* RB */
printf("Size of long max %ld\n", LONG_MAX); /* RB */
printf("Size of short min %d\n", SHRT_MIN);
printf("Size of short max %d\n", SHRT_MAX);
printf("Size of unsigned char %u\n", UCHAR_MAX); /* SF */
printf("Size of unsigned long %lu\n", ULONG_MAX); /* RB */
printf("Size of unsigned int %u\n", UINT_MAX); /* RB */
printf("Size of unsigned short %u\n", USHRT_MAX); /* SF */

return 0;
}


is wrong and a bit incomplete.


I think the correct one is:


#include <stdio.h>
#include <limits.h>

int main ()
{
printf("Size of Char %d\n", CHAR_BIT);
printf("Size of Char Max %d\n", CHAR_MAX);
printf("Size of Char Min %d\n", CHAR_MIN);
printf("Size of int min %d\n", INT_MIN);
printf("Size of int max %d\n", INT_MAX);
printf("Size of long min %ld\n", LONG_MIN); /* RB */
printf("Size of long max %ld\n", LONG_MAX); /* RB */
printf("Size of short min %d\n", SHRT_MIN);
printf("Size of short max %d\n", SHRT_MAX);
==> printf("Size of unsigned char max %u\n", (unsigned) UCHAR_MAX);
==> printf("Size of unsigned long max %lu\n", ULONG_MAX); /* RB */
==> printf("Size of unsigned int max %u\n", UINT_MAX); /* RB */
==> printf("Size of unsigned short max %u\n", USHRT_MAX); /* SF */

return 0;
}

Then why not submit your own version to the C wiki?
