THANK YOU ALL!!! - what errors should I check for and handle?

Thank you all for your kind, patient and educative responses when I obnoxiously post amateur questions! 💙 While I cannot make any promises because of how my brain works, I am almost ready to continue reading *The C Programming Language, 2nd Edition”. I just want to experiment a little bit with error handling, specifially how to handle wrong input (char VS. int, etc.) and also to learn to indentify code that runs the risk of overflow/underflow.

Question: what errors do you recommend checking for and handling?

Meanwhile, thank you all! 🥰

#include <stdio.h>  

//Function declarations  
int newPin();  
int checkPin(int i);  

//Program that prompts for, verifies and saves pins temporarily into an array  
int main() {  

    //New pin  
    int pin = 0;  

    //History  
    int history[10] = {0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0};  
    int history_limit = 10;  
    int history_index = 0;  

    printf("Hello there! What would you like to do? (V)iew your saved pins, (S)ave a new pin or (E)xit: ");  
    int choice = 0;  
    while ((choice = getchar()) != EOF) {  
        switch (choice) {  
            case ('V'): { //Display saved pins  
                printf("\nYour saved pins are:\n\n");  
                for (int i = 0; i < history_limit; i++) printf("%d\n", history[i]);  
                printf("\nWhat would you like to do next? (V)iew your saved pins, (S)ave a new pin or (E)xit: ");  
                break;  
            }  
            case('S'): { //Prompt for and verify newly entered pin  
                pin = newPin();  
                if (checkPin(pin) == pin) {  
                    history[history_index] = pin;  
                    history_index++;  
                    if (history_index >= history_limit) history_index = 0;  
                }  
                break;  
            }  
            case ('E'): goto EXIT; //Terminate program  
        }  
    }  
EXIT:   printf("\nGoodbye!\n");  
    return 0;  
}  

//Function definitions  
//Prompt user to enter a new pin  
int newPin() {  

    int pin = 0;  

    printf("This enter your pin: ");  
    scanf("%d", &pin);  
    getchar();  

    return pin;  
}  

//Verify newly entered pin  
int checkPin (int i) {  

    int check = 0;  

    printf("Confirm your new pin: ");  
    while((scanf("%d", &check)) != EOF) {  
        if (check != i) printf("Mismatch! Confirm your new pin: ");  
        else if (check == i) { 
            printf("Success! Your new pin is %d. What would you like to do next? (V)iew your saved pins, (S)ave a new pin or (E)xit: ", i);  
            goto EXIT;  
        }  
    }  
EXIT:   return i;  
}

In Java unterscheidest du grob zwischen primitiven Datentypen und Referenztypen. Primitive Typen sind die Basis: Sie speichern den Wert direkt, ohne Objekt-Hülle. Das macht sie schnell, vorhersehbar und speichereffizient. Wichtig ist dabei: Die Größe der primitiven Typen ist in Java fest definier

Security Patches

InfoSec

Regardless of which Operating System you run, it is important to keep up with the critical updates to keep your machines as safe as possible

Realize that by the time a critical bug has been reported, verified, patched and delivered to your distribution of choice, a significant amount of time has passed...
From the first day the bug has been discovered [zero day] to the day you patch your computing machine, you've had a vunurable open machine in that one respect.
Keep the amount of time between the availability, of patches & the update of your machines, especially your VMs (Qemu et al) & physical servers as short as possible
Make sure to always use manual updates on your server VM's!
I shall not explain why, start reading on Wikipedia and furthe, the explanation is too long for this short post

Notes:

every OS can have vunurabilities
Security in obscurity does not work!
you are not secure because you run obsolete AmigaOS QNX or cool and niche *BSD as an OS
buffer overflows hide everywhere
I reguraly find them!
