Message: [QUOTE="Keith Thompson, post: 3531457"] There are plenty of questions whose answers aren't in the FAQ. And even for those that are, sometimes more explanation is required. Steve Summit and his contributors expended a great deal of time and effort composing the FAQ. As a result, it contains excellent answers to a many of the questions that are asked here. If someone is having a problem with arrayd and pointers, I *could* spend 10 minutes composing a lengthy response that explains how they relate to each other (with a significant risk of getting something wrong and misleading the questioner). Or I can say "Read section 6 of the comp.lang.c FAQ", saving myself considerable time and giving the the questioner a better answer than I could have written myself. The FAQ hasn't caused this newsgroup to suffer from a lack of things to talk about. [/QUOTE]
