Can I ask questions about C programming on this website?
Can I ask C programming questions, in the beginners forum of course, since I am one. (I did try google the answer first at least 0:)
I know this probably sounds daft, this website is after all "cplusplus.com." I just started getting into K&R and tend to have my questions answered on stack overflow, but I don't always prefer it. I suppose I should try Cprogramming.com. I kind of figure it would be okay since C is a simplified C++ without all those nifty features and what not, but I thought I might ask first on the off chance that my question gets bashed to death with a cudgel. I didn't see anything about whether this is frowned upon or not, hence this post. Thanks!

I'd say you are using C explicitly though. Otherwise you'll get suggestions to use C++ features most likely.

C99 has some nice "extra" features that C++ doesn't have, yet:
* __VA_ARGS__
* compound literals
* variable-length arrays
The first two can be used in a combo for remarkable effect.

I doubt it'll be a problem. Besides, people post C related questions all the time.
