Hi Guys,

Alright, the line:
if(line_of_char[index])
should have some problems with other systems, but somehow works for me right now. But I don't mind this for now :) (Thanks)

I've changed the code and output the index:
+0+1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+15+16+17-17-16-15-14-13-12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-0

The first print statement is using the value of index as it gets incremented 1,2,3 ...
I understand this one clearly since it's clear to me what the code is doing as it never reaches the 2nd printf so it keeps on calling 1st printf.

The second printf (after the recursive call) statement is going "back in time" by popping values off the stack 10,9,8, .....

I am still tying out to understand how it prints the 17 down to 1 since I never did something (index--). I understand the stack is going back but can you maybe help me understand this? Or, should I just set my thinking that it will go back after the recursive call of the 1st printf? (I'll read more about stack later on, need to learn C bit by bit)

:D Thanks a lot!
