Actually we don’t know whether 2+3 equals to 3+2 without seeing the definition of the + operator
Fun fact: C doesn’t even guarantee
a + b == a + bThat’s decidedly unfun and headhurty for those of us less mathemstically inclined. Also so deep into the theoretical weeds that I’m not sure that “fact” applies…
One night I dreamt about the new C standard. It was a tome of ten thousand pages, in dense, tiny, font, three columns of text on each page, and it was all headings and sub-headings interspersed with nothing but either “undefined” or “implementation-defined”.
The teacher’s meaning is clear, which is the purpose of language. Mickey’s just being a grammar nazi.
