The FAQ does cover this. You can only hold people's hands so much. I
could include the whole comp.lang.c FAQ, but I believe that would be a
waste of bandwidth. Face it, people who can't be bothered to pick up a
beginning book on C won't be bothered to look for their problem in the
FAQ either. You'll continue to see these types of questions. You can
continue to try to answer them, or point them to the FAQ. Your call.

==== Section 2: Questions about C / C++ ====
Q2.1 How do I declare a variable? How do I make a string? What's a
pointer?
Q What is a memory leak and how do I find it?
Q What does the compile time error XXXX mean?
A2.1 The palm-dev-forum is not the best place to ask generic questions
about the C or C++ programming languages. There are plenty of
good
sources of information. I recommend the following:
Books:
"The C Programming Language"
Brian W. Kernighan and Dennis M Ritchie
"The C++ Programming Language"
Bjarne Stroustrup
Online:
Introductory C course by Steve Summit
