// Tutorial #1: Strings and arrays.
// Author: Allen Porter <allen@thebends.org>
//
// Compile with:
// $ gcc -Wall -Werror -o putc_example putc_example.c
//
// 1. Warm up: Make the program print out the string backwards
// 2. $ rm -f putc_example  (remove the compiled program)
//    Comment out all of the #include headers in this file and re-run the
//    compile command.  You should see warnings, and no ouput file is generated.
//    Try to get the program to compile/generate an output file without
//    adding the include files back in.  (There are two different ways that
//    I can think of to do this).
// 3. In C, arrays and pointers are the same thing.  Rewrite the "loop"
//    section below using pointers instead of arrays (ie, dont use the [ ]
//    syntax).
//    See: http://www.google.com/search?q=c+pointers+arrays
