Cool thing (but i have never heard of gnome sort before). Per default, C checks nothing and indexing is done with "int". So negative indices are just indices in C. You'll access an element in memory before the first array element, depending on data type. So, just like a[2] is equivalent to *(a + 2), a[-2] is equivalent to *(a-2). (x) If you know what you are doing, e.g. that memory address holds the data you want, there you go. If not, your program will run undefined. Depending on the compiler you can switch on range checking during compile time or even runtime (i think). But is that sporty ? :-) (x) Edit: if you ask yourself at that point "why ?" then pls. keep in mind that you can point anywhere in your data structures and step from there on forward or backward by simply incrementing or decrementing your pointers or indices. Which is extremely efficient, especially for your sorting algorithms ;-)

Hehe. Once, on an excavation exercise, i asked a few first semester students to set up and stake off a rectangular areal of 10 by 10 meters and gave them (first semester) a theodolite of antediluvial/subfossil making with a gradian(gon) scale, a level with a water bubble and a measuring tape. Once in a lifetime every aspiring archaeologist should have used such things :-) Two or three times they set up an irregular polygon and perforated the field with the stakes, but the ends would not meet because 90 degrees is not a right angle on a gon or gradian scale, though you clearly see the difference between 100 and 90 degrees in the field. Until someone realized that the scale went to 400 ... They called me "mean" :-)

Don't do that. It could slip and drown, but it probably won't step on the bowl for fear of that to happen. I grew up with cats and we always had boxes with cat litter. Change it once there something in it because some cats won't use it twice. And a few years ago i adopted a stray cat, that one actually goes out for business (enough space in the "garden"). Compared to other animals, the usual household cat is so unproblematic, a few minutes petting each day, food and changing litter and cleaning up the remains of small rodents or lizards is all there is to do. Only some overbred races may need more care.

I tried to buy a new soldering station. No shops for that stuff on the island. Amazon ? Don't deliver that stuff to the islands, to much hassle with customs etc. I have to pay for living in good weather all the time. ... Ok, i pay.

You could watch Spanish TV films or series, read simple texts, news pages. But at one point, you will have to practice. Or focus on other, more important things ;-)

Also: There are no concrete return plans yet, but Mars 2020 will eventually set up a "cache". I am tempted to say that once there is a return possibility, the maybe decades previously set up cache will partly have lost its meaning because there'd be better/more meaningful sampling sites and possibilities. Edit: but i am chewing my fingernails waiting for more data from Mars :-)

If you accidentally hold it upside town, e.g. to answer a phone call, you are likely to stand there with an empty bread ...

Sorry, learning a natural language makes no sense over the internet. You need to practice and talk and that is only possible in class or with somebody who speaks Spanish (i am German, but live in Spain). Writing an email with the help of dictionaries etc. doesn't help either, you need get accustomed to the specialties of Spanish and there are many. Do the lessons and practice in class, and one day when you have the opportunity, travel to Spain and actually talk to people. Suerte !

Quite a few actually, partly very well preserved, with construction details and trade goods and all. Besides the "usual" shipwreck there are medieval burial sites with complete Viking ships in Norway, Ireland, Denmark and Germany, partly with exceptional preservation. Original ships have been reconstructed and are being sailed even in regattas based on these finds. As to antique Greek/Roman/Carthaginian/Phoenician/Egyptian marine traffic and seafaring, the find situation is ... vast ;-)

That can also be named a "Döner" if i am not mistaken, a sort of pitta bread with kebab style meat of unknown heritage, origin and transport route, served handed over with salad and sometimes a yoghurt sauce.

I like sepia images :-) Seriously, it is time that somebody gets out again to Moon or Mars. Just to look if everything is ok.

Pitas ? Not rather the genus Pizza ? The southern/southeastern European branch that evolved under the "Mama, cook me Pizza !" selective pressure ? :-)
