in loops.c, the foo() function

The for loop inside the foo() function is missing a semi-colon (;)

The text shows it as:

foo() {
int j;
for(j=0;j<200;j++)
}

It should be:

foo() {
int j;
for(j=0;j<200;j++);
}

There is an error where the HINT benchmark is discussed. The benchmark

was developed by the US DOE Ames Laboratory and Iowa State University. John
Gustafson, Quinn Snell, and Armin Mikler were the primary people involved in
HINT's initial development. NASA had nothing to do with HINT. It was
developed in the Scalable Computing Laboratory in the US DOE Ames Laboratory,
which is on campus at Iowa State University.
