### Question 18.4

I just typed in this program, and it's acting strangely. Can you see anything wrong with it?

See if you can run `lint` first (perhaps with the `-a`, `-c`, `-h`, `-p` or other options). Many C compilers are really only half-compilers, electing not to diagnose numerous source code difficulties which would not actively preclude code generation.

See also questions 16.5 and 16.8.
