Aihe: Re: [DNG] Studying C as told. (For help)
Hi,

It seems the interest to give me feedback about what I am studying and
coding is dwindling rapidly. Nevertheless, I am coding a parser in C.
I have already coded the tokeniser and tested it. Next, I will
dedicate my efforts to the actual parsing. I am writing a syntax
checker for simple boolean expressions as an EXERCISE.

Thankfully, the world does have other people who are willing to
positively criticise and actually help me in my endeavour to REVISE C,
for I have already studied it some years ago.

I am attaching my little project code. (parser.c)
