I have some philosophical questions for the Wise Ones of C programming.
To limit the scope of index variables, I saw this the other day but it might be C++ or something (perhaps even c#)
for(int x=1; x < 10; x++) {
/* x is good here */
printf("%d \n",x);
}/* x no longer good */
How about:
if (x == 3) {
int j; /* explain local j*/
int k; /* explain local k*/j = 3; k = something;
}
To "hide j and k, only used inside the if statement, and to define them nearer to
where they are used.

I have been told that global variables are bad... I am writing my own star-trek program and
I use two big arrays to hold the Quadrant and Sector grids, I make these global variables
so I don't have to pass them around. Bad?

When I finish my Star-Trek game, is there a place I can post it for critique?
