Hi,

I am new to C programming and just recently bought Deitel & Deitel's 'C: How To Program'. I just looked at the table of keywords that the C programming language has, and wondered how can there be so many c functions doing so advanced stuff with so little keywords? What is the trick behind it? Do they use lots of other tools or what? Anyway my question is: How can ppl write so many good functions which base on just the little table of keywords?

thnx in advance
