I strongly recommend using the continue statement here:
while(putchar(' ') && --count) continue;
The reason is that the semicolon by itself is almost unnoticeable and you can
create a difficult to understand malfunction if you don't notice you forgot to
type it.
Another habit I have is to avoid a statement like:
if (abc == 42)
and write it as
if (42 == abc)
instead. The compiler will issue an error message if you type only one = in
the latter form, whereas the first form will happily execute by setting abc to
42 and always taking the true clause.
