Of course it does! C certainly has support for data structures. There is absolutely no high-level language feature that can't also be implemented in C and ASM. Nathan.

If so, screw the warp drive... we just need to arrange a buffer-overflow, insert our own code (guess we need to know what processor it runs on) and we can transport ourselves to another planet in an instant. :) Nathan.

Perhaps there is an instructive way for us to demonstrate this fact? Nathan.

Nor as machine code, microcode, or even as a bunch of integrated circuits or logic gates or transistors. But you wouldn't want to. -- Bartc

Some BASICs probably didn't alow recursion. But these all qualify as "ancient" (and maybe jocular!) |
