I did a couple of the early AoC chals in C last year, before giving up

I was quite proud of this one gist.github.com/DavidBuchana...

I think it’s safe to say you’re a lot better at C than I am

although in my defence I was fighting with syntax most of the time. I'm gonna try again tomorrow

It's a shame they had to overload * and &, most of the syntax would be saner without that I think - that and the weird "spiral parse" thing going on with type declarations

Now we want the pointer to the array to be const but not the array itself. 🤯

Honestly if your type declarations are looking like that, it's time to stop

I think sometimes you can't even do it without a typedef, or it's really hard to at least.
