ITT the ABC Programming Language

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc,char argv*[]){
  int i = 0;
  int BUFFA;

  while(argv[i]!='\0'){
    if(argv[i]='a')
      BUFFA++;
    else if(argv[i]='b')
      BUFFA--;
    else if(argv[i]='c')
      printf("%i\n",BUFFA);
    else printf("%s","Error.\n");
  }
}

rather then adding another letter to the ABC Programming Language to handle control structures how about taking an ascii control character that never gets used and make it an escape character for the sequence that defines the branch
