Hi everyone, I'm new at C (just started this week), and I'm reading tutorials on line without the help of a book or class. I was wondering if there are common practices most tutorials teach that really aren't good to get into.
The tutorial I'm reading now says to use int main(), and then at the end to return 0; however, I was reading some of the code snippets on this site and found many people have other things such as main(void) or some other heading with void in it.
There was also an article I believe that said not to use scanf, but instead you should use gets (or something along those lines.)
I know my question isn't the most direct but any advice on common practices or maybe a recommended C tutorial would be great. :-) Thanks for any replies.
