This is a little clever: it's true by whichever definition you choose, and the preceding text does not clearly prefer one or the other.
Like http://bash.org/?10958 http://bash.org/?10958 -- it's funny when you know C, but it's funnier when you also know UNIX.
- Alterlife 10y agoI feel dumb :-/ ... Could you explain why it's funnier if you know UNIX?
- geofft 10y agoThe convention is for UNIX processes to return 0 on success and a non-zero value (often 1) on failure. This means that the UNIX shell "if" statement tests to see if the return value of the program it runs is zero. Therefore, the UNIX "true" command is int main() {return 0;} and the "false" command is int main() {return 1;} -- despite the C convention being the exact opposite.
