\$\begingroup\$ Welcome to the site! I don't think that C requires newlines after semi-colons, so I think you can shave off a newline while retaining your functionality. \$\endgroup\$

\$\begingroup\$ Oh yeah for sure could've totally done that and bring it down to a 154 char solution. Though I don't think I could ever hit some of those 9 byte solutions with c. \$\endgroup\$

\$\begingroup\$ It's best not to try to compare cross languages, the languages with the small solutions are designed to get short answers in the first place. (I've been here a while and I've never had the shortest answer yet) C answers can be impressive in their own right. I don't golf in C but I do know C a little bit and this seems like a pretty good answer to me. It's all about how cleverly you use the tools. \$\endgroup\$
