You can't mix statements and declarations in C (within a block).

You can in C99.

The argument to "assert" must be of the type, int.

In C99, it merely has to be a scalar expression.

The cast-to-void is intended to suppress a compiler warning regarding non-
usage of a variable.

It may or may not do so, depending on the compiler.

int i; To hold the amount of chickens

It's "number of chickens".

(You'd need a float to hold the amount of chicken ;-) )

No, you need float for ducks.

No, you need float for ducks.

No, the ducks can float by themselves, so you need a float for the
chickens.

You get down off a duck.

But we should really be talking about C gulls.
