I love this post and the exchange of comments going on here. The OP is just starting to learn C, and to help learn it got started on a project that they found useful, which I think is one of the best ways to learn programming. The community then responded by posting helpful feedback, much of which demonstrates the idiomatic way of doing things, which is often one of the most difficult things to learn when picking up a new programming language. Other helpful advice is posted on build options and debug tools. This kind of constructive and useful feedback is great to see.
