Is there any difference in C that is written in Windows and Unix?
I teach C as well as C++ but some of my students have come back saying some of the sample programs do not run for them in Unix. Unix is alien to me. Unfortunately no experience with it whatsoever. All I know is to spell it. If there are any differences then I should be advising our department to invest on systems for Unix as currently there are no Unix systems in our lab. I do not want my students to feel that they have been denied or kept away from something.
