You are lost in a twisty maze of APIs, all alike. It is dark. You are likely to be hit on the head by a chair thrown by a Grue.

#include

int main() {
        uac_alert("You are attempting to initialize variables. Cancel or allow?");
        int i;

        uac_alert("You are attempting to enter a loop. Cancel or allow?");
        for (i = 0; i 100; i++) {
                uac_alert("You are attempting to iterate a loop. Cancel or allow?");
                i++;
        }

        uac_alert("You are attempting to exit program. Cancel or allow?");
        return 0;
}
