Output program execution output through GTalk. Sometimes we may need to send the program execution result and log to teammates for debugging using IM.

C++ offers the ability to define them but C under the C99 standard has no way to allow it. In this post I will detail two ways I know of implementing default arguments in C. If a reader happens to know additional ways please share in ...
