alphabet version 3

Third answer to my alphabet question:
#include <stdio.h> void main () { char Array[26] = { 'a', 'b', ... 'z'}; int i; for (i = 0; i <= 26; i++) { printf(%c\\n, *Array[i]); } exit; }

There is no typo in the transcript. What do you think? Is my question ‘too hard’? Is it not ‘appropriate’ for a ‘C’ developer position?

alphabet version 2
May 18th
Second answer… again, there is no typo, this is the pure transcript of the candidate’s answer.
main(argc, argv[]) { int i = 0; char a[26] = { 'a', 'b', 'c', ...'z'} for (i = 0; i <=26; i++) { printf("%d/n", a[i]%); } return; }

alphabet version 1
May 17th
First answer to my alphabet question:
void printAlphabet(void) { char a[21]; for (i = 0; i <26; i++) { if (i == 0) { a[i] = 'a'; } else { a[i] = a[i - 1]++; } } a[26] = '\\0'; printf("alphabet %s\\n", a); }

This might print the alphabet… but it will crash… I recopy the program as is… there is no typo from my side.
After this question, I asked more questions on how to use array in C. This person was terribly confused on how to use array in C.

My vim cheat codes
May 10th
I nerver remember how to use macros in vim… quick post for later:
qregister – Start macro recording into the named register. For instance, qa starts recording and puts the macro into register a.
q – End recording.
@register – Replay the macro stored in the named register. For instance, @a replays the macro in register a.
