From: teespy Date: 2001-06-08T11:06:18+09:00 Subject: [ruby-talk:16311] Little bug in the manual I think there is a little error in ruby's guide ( www.ruby-lang.org/en/pdf-doc/rubyguide_A4.pdf ) Look at page 16, the C example of a loop, quoting: char *str; for (str = "abcdefg"; *str != '\0'; str++) { /* process a character here */ } I think 'str = "abcdefg"' isn't legal, and should be replaced with strcpy(str, 'abcdefg'); That's it, nothing important, but may be worth fixing in the next release of the guide. byez-- -------------------------------teespy-------------------------------
