Re: [Dev-C++] (THIS WAS MY QUESTION) Re: help

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

You ask the question "Does this problem need the "C++ feature" to solve or
could just be done with C or C/C++ hybrid?" and get angry that people
on the list doesn't answers the question.

Of course you can count symbols using C or using C++ objects or anything
in between. The original problem is trivial and most batch script
languages can even be used to solve it.

But only the original poster can possibly know exactly what language
choices his professor expects to receive the solution in.

Or are you saying that you "Eric" is the same person as "Fernando
Lichtschein"?
