Re: Have you ever had a bug OOPS

Someone pointed out that I goofed in my C syntax.
Here is the correction:

And just in case it's obscure, the point was
that after preprocessing, the error in the header file
means one loop never ends, the other is stopped immediately,
and goal is unchanged.  Of course, the second loop has an error
of its own or it would not compile.

Interesting, too, that one of the mistakes I made in my first
post is the reverse of the one I was trying to illustrate!
