int *ptr;

// but let's change it to *int ptr;

// because the pointer symbol is more logical to write first

Please can we solve a real problem instead?

I read a book from 1960 about Quantum Mechanics. There is more content from one paragraph there than from anything from your AppleTV, your Facebook, your WhatsApp, your Telegram or anything else from your stupid overpriced trash media. Ken Thompson is right when he calls Apple an atrocity. Linux and Framasoft are not terrorist organisations but I'm not sure about any other.

The statement looks very misleading or even fraudulent. I used a system with 192 cores often and with GNU parallel, it did not stagnate at 8 parallel tasks for simple demonstrations. If we're talking about a case where 8 is intentionally the maximum (it's possible that some tasks should not parallelize more than 8), then the statement is misleading as well, since it gives the wrong impression. I have the service tag and the output from nproc and the exact version of everything where I used 192 CPUs. I suppose pseudoscience will always return and claim that the statement is true anyway, no matter what observations the rest of the world can give. There is pseudoscience forever who always says that the rest of the world is misunderstood.

My favorite is The Turtle Book "Computer Science" by Aho & Ullman. I also liked the books "Computer Algorithms" (by Baase et al), The Wizard Book, The Dragon Book, The Tiger Book (about compiler) and "The Comet Book" (about os)

GDPR is implemented in Sweden but only for sham purposes like everything else here, the laws look good on paper but then reality is completely different

You can try and just gain more experience and solve problems for more organizations and companies. Have a GitHub or GitLab profile with your projects. Worst case, get any programming gig, try and solve the problems for them, then you can get a reference from them and move on.
