Curly braces. I had a friend who said 'you cant program in C on an Apple

I think I sent him a header file with
 
#define BEGIN {
#define END }

As of C99, there is a standard C header file called iso646.h. Its contents
look like

    #define and &&
    #define and_eq  &=
    #define bitand  &
    #define bitor   |
    #define compl   ~
    #define not !
    #define not_eq  !=
    #define or  ||
    #define or_eq   |=
    #define xor ^
    #define xor_eq  ^=

Too late for your Apple-using friend, of course ...
