You are not reading *any* K&R version.  K&R refers to "The C Programming
Language", by Kernighan & Ritchie.  I don't know what the author of that
tutorial means by "K&R version".  The language described by K&R1,
published in 1978, is often referred to as "K&R C"; I don't know why a
1999 tutorial would cover that obsolete version of the language.

The passage you quoted is wrong.  Based on that, I suggest finding a
better tutorial.  The comp.lang.c FAQ <http://www.c-faq.com/> lists some
decent books; others here can offer more up-to-date advice.
