Worth noting: since everyone on HN is clearly an expert on C[1], we're just as clearly not the audience for this post. It's obviously written for people who haven't learned this yet, who might still be fooled by the superficial similarity of arrays in C to arrays elsewhere (or to what any rational non-lazy person not implementing their first compiler might expect). That doesn't make it a bad article, so stop being so gratuitously negative. It's actually a pretty good explanation, for somebody at that level, of how C arrays can trip you up. I might use it myself, as a reference for some of the people I mentor. Pedagogy matters. [1] Or any other topic. Just ask any one of us. Apparently we all sprang fully formed from Athena's brow, already endowed with every bit of knowledge we'll ever need.
