Watching olcott base his arguments on C *and getting C so badly

fine, most people are) and is unwilling to admit it.  Watching the
reactions of actual experts to his mathematical arguments leads me
to the same conclusion about his knowledge of the relevant fields
of mathematics.

So you normally compile your code using the 2017 version of Microsoft
Visual Studio.

I have no particular problem with that, but your failure to correct
a number of C errors in your code is odd.  I've pointed out several
syntax errors and constraint violations; at least the syntax errors
would be trivial to fix (even if your compiler is lax enough to
fail to diagnose them).  Richard Heathfield has pointed out code
that dereferences a null pointer.

You are using C, a language in which you appear to have little
apparent expertise or willingness to learn, to demonstrate claims
that, if true, would overturn ideas that have been generally accepted
for decades.  Can you understand why I might decide that analyzing
your claims is not worth my time?
