How to initialize a struct in accordance with C programming language standards

In (ANSI) C99, you can use a designated initializer to initialize a structure:

MY_TYPE a = { .flag = true, .value = 123, .stuff = 0.456 };

Other members are initialized as zero: "Omitted field members are implicitly initialized the same as objects that have static storage duration." (https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Designated-Inits.html)

C++ – the “–>” operator in C/C++

--> is not an operator. It is in fact two separate operators, -- and >.

The conditional's code decrements x, while returning x's original (not decremented) value, and then compares the original value with 0 using the > operator.

To better understand, the statement could be written as follows:

while( (x--) > 0 )
