One needful thing – a better way of handling error conditions – and a few very-nice-to-haves: more efficient copying (“move” functions), functions that call themselves (recursion), and a way to figure how time-efficient your functions are.

How should a program handle runtime errors? Some options:
The ostrich algorithm: Simply hope the problem will never occur – your integers never exceed INT_MAX, your calls to strcpy never overrun the char array, and so on. We do it a lot, and it works! Shall we try it in software for a nuclear reactor? For ...
