The analogy could help, if you would _just_ think about how you used the term "pseudo".
Both cars and motobikes are road vehicles, being subject to the very same road traffic rules/laws. Both are wheeled vehicles with the same principle of locomotion (ICE or electric engine acting upon the wheel(s... (more) |

Depends. Is a passenger car a "pseudo motobike" to you (or vice versa, is a motobike a "pseudo car")?
If you see a car as a "pseudo motobike" (or vice versa), then you probably also see this recursive function as some "pseudo TreeWalker". If however you dont' see a car as a "pseudo motobike" (or v... (more) |

Oh, my bad. Apologies (sincerly!). It's unfortunately quite easy to read your question that way, like "_What does `a == b` do?_" instead of the "_What is that `a` thing there in the `a==b` expression?_" as you intended.

Additionally to what @hkotsubo wrote, `=` (assignment) would not be entirely correct here. (It would have been possible to design the language to allow `=`, but it would make this operator essentially somewhat ambiguous in its use.)

A branch is a sub-tree in a tree, a node is just an element that can have child and/or parent relationships with other nodes (elements) in the tree. Such an element/node itself is not a branch. The relationship between nodes/elements is what is forming a tree/branch. Specifically a branch of/for/asso... (more) |

Your code snippet features only two variables, both are named. One is named "e", the other is named "child". Variables by definition always have a name (more specifically: an identifier).

Yes, one solution, and also a good way to potentially destroy HTML element and attribute names present in the inner html and mangle attribute values, if the character to be replaced is part of an element name or attribute name or value.

No surprise, because cc is not part of the POSIX-defined utilities. c99 is. (with respect to the latest POSIX 1003.1-2017 standard)

Come to think of it, i start suspecting that, depending on how exactly you disabled the "View History" button, you did not just disable that button but the entire history view feature.

> explain exactly how memmove_s checks it's parameters against null,
What's the point of asking _how_ exactly a `memmove_s` implementation achieves checking for null? Why would that matter? What matters is that to conform with the behavior described in C11 K 3.7.1.2, `memmove_s` has to so... (more) |

The "whatever" was in response to not wanting to focus on bounds-checking, but trying to stick to the topic of the Q and A about null checks.

Whatever.
Even the C standard defines functions that check for null pointers. To lean on your mention of `memmove`, how about `memmove_s` (since C11, i believe), for example.
It's actually quite funny how your absolutist recommendation of "_We should **never** add checks against null [...]_" is... (more) |

Since bounds checking should be done anyway (depending on the purpose of the function, as well as whether it is just "locally"/"privately" used vs. it being some "public" function of some degree) when passing pointers to an array (or some memory buffer) to avoid buffer-overflow bugs, why not also che...

`~` should have worked, assuming you structure your HTML document accordingly.

As the documentation says, when using the `~` combinator, the _div_ element (to be found by the `.ani-square` selector) has to come **after** the _button_ element (to be found by the `.detect:hover` selector) in the HTML document. And the div element has to be a **sibling** (which is **NOT** a child/... (more) |

You are on the right track, but yes, that does not do anything. Read the documentation about `~` carefully. `~` can only select sibling elements that come _after_ the element found by the left-hand selector (i.e., the div element has to come _after_ the button in t... (more) |

Since this looks like a learning exercise to me, i am just giving a hint that will hopefully get you rolling:
