question about xCode and C



Dear List,

I am relatively new to  C...


I am having difficulty understanding the following: ( I am reading Brian Overland's "C in plain English")




As an illustration, he shows how to enter something like this, without anything else.


void main() { printf( " foo bar ! \n"); }


... and explains how to C this is like any other function that needs to be defined before being used, and hence the need to add " #include <stdio.h> " in the first line.


Well, I just typed it without the # include and ......printed just fine, although I had expected to receive a warning "undefined etc etc". . I did this both in Terminal and Xcode and got the exact same warning but both printed ok......

I know there are real C gurus on the list...any explanation as to why it seems to work without adding the includes on Xcode or terminal?

Tks
