Ummmm ...

Coding 3.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
char *
somefunction()
{
        char *string2 = "some words";
        return string2;
}
int main (void)
{
        char *string;
        string = somefunction();
        printf ("\n\nString is: %s\n\n", string);
        return 0;
}

somefunction returns string2 which is trash!
formally: The scope of string2 does not extend to main!
(even if it works, and it might, it's WRONG)

If you're going to drive a sports car, learn to use the clutch!
He's learning. For sleek and mean there is no better (than C), but it does 
require care and diciplin
