See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27002661/c-sorting-arrays http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27002661/c-sorting-arrays for example - that grey box at the top shows the answer it was marked as a duplicate of.

- cheald 12y agoHah. Whoops. Well, search for duplicate:yes and you'll get a list of questions closed as dupes. :)
- techdragon 12y agoAnd isn't it awesome that we have no way to fight back, with the argument that "the old question is irrelevant because it's too old". Sometimes things change and old answers become VERY BAD For instance any question that suggests a Python programmer use PIL instead of Pillow. And for another example any recommendation that a Python programmer 'easy_install' something, pip is now the recommended tool and easy_install is depreciated.
