Solution for Exercise 4-5

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    puts("The secret password is:");
/*  puts("Spatula."); */
    return(0);
}

Output

The secret password is:

Notes

* I typically comment out a statement for debugging purposes. Either the statement doesn't work, or I'm disabling it to check some other aspect of the code.

* The Code::Blocks editor may indent the comment for you. So the code looks like this:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    puts("The secret password is:");
    /*  puts("Spatula."); */
    return(0);
}

This format is okay, but it's not as readable as the original solution (top of the page). Especially when you're "commenting out" a statement, put the initial /* at the start of the line, position zero, so these statements are easy to locate.
