[cctalk] Re: A little off-topic but at least somewhat related: endianness

[Fred Cisin via cctalk]

When I was teaching C, it was sometimes quite difficult to help students 
who had firm assumptions about things that you can'r assume.  Such as the 
sequence of operations in the multiple iterations examples that we both 
used.  I tried desperately to get them to do extensive commnets, and use 
typecasts even when they could have been left out.
