Windreamer Is Not a DREAMER
main(){main(puts("Hello,stranger!"));}

Is it a mistake in TAOCP  
Maggie McLoughlin <mam@theory.stanford.edu> to Windreamer

Sequences with n=0 are empty. It's important in mathematics
to deal with empty sets and strings etc in a meaningful way.
If n = 0 and you're supposed to do something for 1 <= j <= n,
you don't have to do anything.

Thanks for your interest in my book! -- Don Knuth

呵呵,原来是我年少无知了,再次赞一下Knuth爷爷写书的精致
