The other posters are right, BTW, that these are extremely elementary C
questions that have nothing to do with Xcode. I'd suggest you find a
beginning C newsgroup or list, and reading (or re-reading) a beginning C
book. Sorry, I don't have more specific recommendations.

For any newbies who may be wondering why people here resist answering basic programming questions, it's not that people here don't want to help people getting started. We all needed help when we were starting (and most of us still need help from time to time still ;-), but if we open the list to any programming question from anyone using Xcode, the list would get so many of those questions it wouldn't be able to function effectively for its intended purpose, which is to be a source of help to people trying to addresses Xcode-specific issues such as setting up projects, build scripts, accessing features in Xcode, working around bugs in Xcode, and so on. This list seems to also be appropriate for questions about other Apple tools such as Interface Builder and Shark as well. That's just my opinion as a list subscriber.


For better or worse, some of us have been doing this so long that we really don't even know where to direct a newbie to get help. For us, the best resources available today weren't even around when we were getting started.
