As a student in the final phase of the study of computer science i do
not see the benefit of feigning your students to wrong facts. Within the
function f there is no knowledge of the length of the array. Why do you
want to display it anyway? The only effect is to give the students a
wrong insight to C. The consequence is, that they will tend to produce
code with buffer overflows.

Proper C-syntax, but wrong C-semantik ?!?
