Note that he's only searching songs written in C Major. A D Major would be outside the key so naturally it would be quite rare. The results are exactly as I would expect. F is the most common chord to follow E, because that's the primary

The best teams I've worked for had this set of common traits: 1) A shared goal and a leader that maintained focus. 2) Baggage checked at the door. 3) Adequate resources and skills. 4) Good humor. Nobody ever had to get fired.

Seriously, he said the next question was string manipulation or something: #include <stdio.h> char f[8] = {70, 117, 99, 107, 32, 121, 111, 117}; int main(){ int u; for(u=0; u<8; u++) { printf("%c", f[u]); }
