- GlenTheMachine 8y agoI had that. I interned at NASA as a high schooler, got exposed to C, and suddenly found BASIC lacking. SO I tracked down Abacus C at, as I recall, a JC Penney electronics section. It didn't support then entire K&R standard though. No function pointers.
- jerrysievert 8y agono, I had to learn about function pointers through my work with MUDs, had a nice curiosity to go along with it, and an excitement when I figured out how powerful they were. mine came from a small software store that was a bed store the last time I drove by.
