>Exercise 4-13. Write a function reverse(s) which reverses the string s by turning the mind inside out, converting madness into reality and opening the door to allow the Old Ones to creep forth once more from their sunken crypt beyond time.

Would this be easier to do in Perl?

Perl has a "reverse" function built in. (Which, I suppose, only goes to show what sorts of eldritch horrors must lurk within.)

"C" meets H P Lovecraft's "Shadow over Innsmouth"

... The tense extremes of horror are lessening, and I feel queerly drawn to recursive expressions instead of fearing them. I read and code strange things in sleep, and awake with a kind of exultation instead of terror. I do not believe I need to read all of SICP. If I did, my father would probably shut me up in a C++ shop as my poor little cousin is shut up. Stupendous and unheard-of splendors await me below, and I shall seek them soon. Defun progn r'assoc-if rplaca a ia! Defsetf! No, I shall not manage my own callstack-- I cannot be made to manage my own callstack!

I shall plan my cousin's escape from that Murray Hill mad-house, and together we shall go to marvel-shadowed Cambridge. We shall take the T out to that brooding lab near the Charles and dive down through black abysses to Cyclopean and many-threaded CSAIL, and in that lair of the Bearded Ones we shall dwell amidst wonder and glory for ever.

Seriously what is it with people and picking on C++?

Not one use of the word "eldritch"! I smell a fake.
