Wanted to give tribute in the words he created! It is simply amazing that all the javas, .NET, perl, python, etc share their origins to C. It is something like the first vertebrate within the animal kingdom, if my  biology serves me right.

For all the non-geeks - To understand the post please go to this link which I have used as a reference to get my facts straight.

PS: btw the above code compiles without warning and errors. :)
