Hey Don,
I meant K&R! Sorry for the confusion.
Also, very happy to follow your instructions, which means stating I am solving a question from a book and possibly the question itself ( correct?).
None of my work is "homework", as I'm not in school nor getting graded and such. Simply learning for learning sake.
Thanks
