Problems with the C Version

• We have to manually ensure

  • num_employees is initialized to 0 and never exceeds MAX_EMPLOYEES
  • no one else modifies num_employees, or the employees array itself
  • we free name when we’re done with the array
  • name is copied instead of just pointed

• What if we decide to use a linked list or a binary tree instead of an array?
