C

Hey!

Is there a shortcut for this "pattern":
c = (a -b);
if (c != 0) return c;
c = (d-c);
if (c != 0); return c;
//...


I don't quite see how I can avoid storing c, because it matters if it's <0 or >0... or does it get optimized away anyway?

qsort, bsearch, and so on take a function whose arguments need to be "const void *p". Is there a way to cast them into the right type right in the function definition, without needing to either introduce two new variables, or cast them every time they're used?

Thanks /prog/!

Shut your face you dickhead. I was talking about "pattern" in the sense of a repeated "pattern" of expressions. I know I can write it that way, and guess, it's exactly the same. So shut your face. I'm looking for an easier way to write it, so it's easier to read. Fucking hell you're a shithead.

Thanks, yes.
