Ok, let's say most/many compilers will fail with: "main() must return a value" or so.

[Duthomhas]

No they won't. In C++ main() is permitted to have an implicit return value (of zero).

[edit] You might get a warning, though.

You right, the VS2008 compiler builds this with no complaints. Cool :)
I mixed something up, apparently.

Anyway, back to topic: Who's next?

In C++ main() is permitted to have an implicit return value (of zero).

C main() is the same way (except for the doubly-deprecated C89)

Im sure I havent done it yet but I loved the project ueler problems, they made me feel like I was a real coder.

So does andywestken's thing compile or not?

[Dy7SLyTq]

the original: probably
the one austin has: no, because he didn't copy the / at the beginning of a comment so if you add that in, it becomes probably again

A Connect 4 game where the AI was playing about as strongly as an reasonable player. That was my first serious adventure into doing anything AI. It was magical seeing the computer 'making decisions' and seeing it actually win games against people.
