When I outputed0x0a(\n) to file using putc() and viewed it in a HEX-viewer, there was0x0d(\r) in the previous byte.
I used latest MinGW to compile the program.
How do I output 0x0a on its own?

You must be working on a DOS/Windows system. This linefeed translation is a MS legacy feature for text files. You can open the file in "binary" mode, then line ends will not be translated:
```
FILE *fp=fopen("file.name","wb");//"b" means binary
putc('\n',fp);

How do I check in C if an array of uint8 contains only ASCII elements?
If possible please refer me to the condition that checks if an element is ASCII or not
|
Your array elements are uint8, so must be in the range 0-255
For standard ASCII character set, bytes 0-127 are used, so you can use a for loop to iterate through the array, checking if each element is <= 127.
If you're treating the array as a string, be aware of the 0 byte (null character), which marks the end of th... |

I am dynamically allocating a double pointer (char **pointer), some methods later the information about the length is no longer known.
Is there a clean way to free both the "pointer array" and the "char array"s, without knowing the length of the pointer array?
|
There's technically a way.
If you allocate one extra pointer, and set the last one toNULL, you can free all of the double arrays and then the double array array by freeing until you reachNULL. It's a similar principle to strings.
You shouldn't probably need this, though.

How to allow everybody to write into the file?

Your shell probably has a umask of022, which means any new files created will have the specified bits (i.e. group write and other write) cleared.
You need to set the umask to 0 before creating the file:

printf("Error: please enter a positive integer\n");

Simply rework your loop breaking when correct input is given. This way the check is done only one time:
```
while (1)
{
printf("Enter a positive integer: ");
scanf("%d", &n);
if (n >= 0)
break;
printf("Error: please enter a positive integer\n");
}

Of course. :-) My solution is:

return pa;
}
```
... |
Your problem lies here:
```
pa == 11850 - 1 * ((annualSalary - 100000)/2);
```
==doesn't do assignment, it does comparison. So this doesn't actually do anything in this case. It evaluates to1or0and then just discards that result. What you need instead is
```
pa = 11850 - 1 * ((annualSalary - 100000)/2);

Right now I am reading Head First C and I have a hard time understanding this piece of code, image taken from the O'Reilly website:

|
Because in the previous if-else tree,valwould be set to 10 for each card J, Q or K and also for the card with the value 10. So whenever you had a J, Q, K or 10valwould be 10 and so you can just check for this value when checking for these cards.

Is it possible to have a POSIX thread remain "alive" after executing the function given as an argument? As in reusing that thread for further work.

What you describe reminds me of athread pool, where a set of threads is waiting for work (your functions in this case) to execute.

When GDB invokes your program, it starts a newshellto run this program in.

There's no need to do the restoration manually. Many applications likevimorlessare using the concept calledalternate screen, so check that. It exists exactly for such a purpose.
Simply switch to the alternate screen when your program starts and switch back right before it exits. You can use for example the following ... |

float A,B,C;

If the structure only containsuint8_t, then#pragma pack(1)will have no effect at all. It simply won’t do anything, because the structure is already packed as tightly as it can be.
Padding will only appear if you have elements which have larger than byte alignment.

I am having a question for myself while taking operating system course.
If I type in any C code to my text editor or though IDE and execute it with the compiler
it translates the code into machine code.
Then I would guess if I run the program, the OS will allocate a memory address to the code which is done by kernel... |
In the ordinary course of events, any code you write is 'user mode code'. Kernel mode code is executed only when you execute a system call and the control jumps from your user code to the operating system.
Obviously, if you're writing kernel code, or loadable kernel modules, then things are different — that code wil... |
In C, I can bind a client socket to a specific local address and a system-selected port. What would happen if any of the following happened?
The local address of the machine is changedThe program is moved to a host with a different local address
And what would happen if I attempt to bind after calling connect()?

Well, in general, a TCP socket connection is really identified by the source IP, source port, destination ip, destination port tuple. If say the source IP is not valid any more then neither end can recover from it and the destination host will not probably notice until after a timeout.
If on the other hand you're try... |
In this code the person has to enter y if wishes to continue, but why does it ask him the question two times when he enters y.

c = getchar();
}
```
Here is the console
