[Coco] C VS Basic Coco

[Lee]

I'd also say the C example is doing more than the BASIC example which adds
to it looking more complex.

#include <stdio.h>

int main () {
    for(int a = 10; a < 20; a++) {
        printf("%d\n", a);
    }
    return 0;
}

To me, that's just as clear as the BASIC, but I have a background in
c/c++/c# so I'm familiar and comfortable with it.
