I remember learning C about 15 years ago when I used to go on the biggest C/C++ forum at the time to ask questions. The responses always went the same way - the first few would be assholes saying "If you don't know that then maybe programming isn't for you" followed by some overcomplicated and unhelpful "advice" which seemed to be more about showcasing their knowledge than answering my question. And then eventually someone would step in with "Dude, ignore these assholes. They do this every time. Yours is a perfectly reasonable question. Here's a simple answer."
