Oh, but I have to, even though I don't have the time.
It's considered a prerequiste for the assignment and quite seriously this is how it should be.

int main(int,char*){int x;for(x=0;x<10;x++){printf("%d\n",x);int y=x+1;}return 0;}

sometimes, it's more readable to write so if the function get tons of parameter.

nResult = GetResult(Param1,

However, the idea that a code line should not exceed 80 chars comes from a time when we had terminals that were 80x72 tokens.
