Concepts

For this project, we expect you to look at these concepts:

Resources

Read or watch:

Everything you need to know to start with C.pdf (You do not have to learn everything in there yet, but make sure you read it entirely first)
Dennis Ritchie
“C” Programming Language: Brian Kernighan
Why C Programming Is Awesome
Learning to program in C part 1
Learning to program in C part 2
Understanding C program Compilation Process
Betty Coding Style
Hash-bang under the hood (Look at only after you finish consuming the other resources)
Linus Torvalds on C vs. C++ (Look at only after you finish consuming the other resources)

man or help:

gcc
printf (3)
puts
putchar

Learning Objectives

At the end of this project, you are expected to be able to explain to anyone, without the help of Google:

General

Why C programming is awesome
Who invented C
Who are Dennis Ritchie, Brian Kernighan and Linus Torvalds
What happens when you type gcc main.c
What is an entry point
What is main
How to print text using printf, puts and putchar
How to get the size of a specific type using the unary operator sizeof
How to compile using gcc
What is the default program name when compiling with gcc
What is the official C coding style and how to check your code with betty-style
How to find the right header to include in your source code when using a standard library function
How does the main function influence the return value of the program

Requirements

C

Allowed editors: vi, vim, emacs
All your files will be compiled on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS using gcc, using the options -Wall -Werror -Wextra -pedantic -std=gnu89
All your files should end with a new line
A README.md file at the root of the repo, containing a description of the repository
A README.md file, at the root of the folder of this project, containing a description of the project
There should be no errors and no warnings during compilation
You are not allowed to use system
Your code should use the Betty style. It will be checked using betty-style.pl and betty-doc.pl

Shell Scripts

Allowed editors: vi, vim, emacs
All your scripts will be tested on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
All your scripts should be exactly two lines long ($ wc -l file should print 2)
All your files should end with a new line
The first line of all your files should be exactly #!/bin/bash

Betty linter

Installing betty linter for .c files

mkdir Betty && cd Betty

git clone https://github.com/holbertonschool/Betty.git

cd Betty

sudo ./install.sh

Put this inside betty file

echo '#!/bin/bash

# Simply a wrapper script to keep you from having to use betty-style
# and betty-doc separately on every item.
# Originally by Tim Britton (@wintermanc3r), multiargument added by
# Larry Madeo (@hillmonkey)

BIN_PATH="/usr/local/bin"
BETTY_STYLE="betty-style"
BETTY_DOC="betty-doc"

if [ "$#" = "0" ]; then
    echo "No arguments passed."
    exit 1
fi

for argument in "$@" ; do
    echo -e "\n========== $argument =========="
    ${BIN_PATH}/${BETTY_STYLE} "$argument"
    ${BIN_PATH}/${BETTY_DOC} "$argument"
done' > betty

chmod u+x betty

sudo mv betty /bin/

To check style:

betty filename.c
