Self-Made C Library
My first project as a 42 Cadet!
- Basic C and Programming Concepts
- Time Management
- Algorithms and Optimization
- Makefiles
- Lists, Memory, ASCII
This was a challenging experience at the time. After I passed the C Piscine and got accepted to 42, I initially struggled to retain and reproduce the work I had done. The Piscine was so fast-paced, I couldnt remember even the most basic things we had learned. So I took a few weeks to re-do almost everything we had worked on during our time. It helped immensely. I was able to successfully recreate 60+ functions that are in the standard C library.
Another challenge was learning how to manage my time wisely. In the Piscine, we had no time, so we were constanly working at full-steam. Now, as a Cadet, everything is at my own pace. I have to push myself to maintain a good working schedule while also making time for myself.
Upon cloning the repository, please type Make in the directory to activate the Makefile. The Makefile is a special type of file that allows anyone to customize a project. It is resemblant of a Dockerfile when using Docker. It executes whatever commands the user wants it to, and allows for easy compilation of large projects with a simple command.
Commands you can run in the directory:
make: compiles the .c files and creates .o (output) files with the same names. Also creates a .a archive library file that is imperative when using your libft in other projects.make clean: removes all the .o files from your directory.make fclean: removes all the .o files and the .a files. Basically a factory reset for the directory.make re: removes everything and then recompiles everything.
Here are a few pics of the project!
