This has *NOTHING* to do with Apple or Cocoa.
Then why is it contained in a book called "Learning Cocoa" written by
Apple?
Because ObjC (which is used in Cocoa) is an extension of C.
This is the BASIC of C programming laguage. So my best advice would be
you to get out and buy a
C programming guide book.
Well, I have a 700 page book on C programming and the index shows
nothing about this. I also have a 600 page book on UNIX and it only
mentions argv as a shell variable with NO further information. I do
try, damnit!
I must have picked the wrong programming book, "The Art and Science of
C" by Eric S. Roberts. Since he has a Ph.D. in computer science from
Harvard and is a professor at Stanford, I assumed he might know what he
was talking about. Silly me.
Well, *owning* a book about C doesn't make a C-programmer!
(and being a professor doesn't make a good teacher/writer for that matter)
