It is the first day of winter break. My mother encouraged me to keep my brain from wasting away and handed me this book on the C programming language that she used in college:

I read the book cover to cover. All one needed back in the day was to install a compiler. Mom had it easy. She'd freak out if I showed her node_modules. Perhaps someday computing will be simple again. But I think there's a law somewhere that says technological complexity will only increase.
Once I finished, I wrote my first C program. Here it is:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
printf("Hello, world!\n");
}
I will never write another. Here's to a lifetime of learning!
Task 2
