I have two code fragments
doesn't work :
char* fn_mtrim __P((char*));
char* fn_mtrim (s)
char* s ;{
short i=0;
char *buffer= (char *) calloc (256,sizeof(char));
while (*s){
( *s == ' ') ? s*++ : buffer[i++] = *s++ ;
};
return buffer;
}
works :
char* fn_mtrim __P((char*));
char* fn_mtrim (s)
char* s ;{
short i=0;
char *buffer= (char *) calloc (256,sizeof(char));
while (*s){
( *s != ' ') ? buffer[i++] = s*++ : *s++ ;
};
return buffer;
}
Why does the first one not work and the second one work ....

When things can't get any worse, they simplify themselves by getting a
whole lot worse then complicated. A complete and utter disaster is the
simplest thing in the world; it's preventing one that's complex.
