• sample find_maximal_sample(a[], a_size) { 
    }
  

• sample find_maximal_sample(const int a[], int a_size){
    int array[256] = {0};
    // blah blah blah  
    return array;
    }
  

• struct sample {
    int start;
    int length;
    int hold_max;
    };
   
  sample hold_max = 0;
  

Do Nothing Gracefully

• Array segment start = 1073821579, length = -1073744080 
  should have length = 0 for array [ ].
  

  These values suggest an uninitialized variable.

• Array segment start = 1, length = 0 
  should have start = 0 for array [ ].
  

Other Points

• Don't use gotos.

  • Makes code difficult.

  • Usually unnecessary.

• Don't use dynamic storage.

  • It's not needed.

  • It's sharp and pointy.

  • It can cause your program to fail.
