Perhaps, but the spiral rule is one of the most complicated parts of C. Most things are trivial to someone who knows how to do the thing.
- bruce343434 5y agoYou're right of course. Every language has warts, and declaration, especially involving pointers, is C's. But once you internalize that declaration mirrors usage, together with the spiral rule, it will all immediately become clear. There is some method to the madness.
