Show all headers | View raw

Seems strange, but the code compiles (Tiny C on Windows) and runs just 
fine with only stdio.h and stdlib.h includes.

Online resources say ctype.h is the required header (which I didn't know 
obviously).

I compiled the program with Pelles and got warnings:

Undeclared function 'isspace' (did you mean 'vsscanf'?); assuming 
'extern' returning 'int'.


Why is it working without ctype.h?
