I think your explanation is missing some detail...
could you explain that again please???

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void) {
  puts("hello world", "hello world", "hello world");
  strcmp("abc");
}

$ gcc foo.c
foo.c: In function `main':
foo.c:5: error: too many arguments to function `puts'
foo.c:6: error: too few arguments to function `strcmp'

Thanks!
