42's libft project's objective is to re-code some of the most useful libc functions to create our own static library. This library is used in all of the projects during studies at 42 school.
In sources you will find all the .c source files of this project. In total there were more than 50 functions to be recoded, e.g.: strcmp, split.
run the following command in terminal of your choice make which will compile the project and create libft.a library archive.
- To
free()all dynamically allocated memory. - Bash scripting for running tests.
- Basics of pointer arithmetics.
- Making sure that
chararrays end in\0. - Basics of Makefile.
- Writing clean and readable code.
- Pointers, as it was hard to understand them at first.
- Memory leaks.
- Documenting the code.
During the project I felt the need to automate some tasks. I achieved this by learning about bash scripts. Click here to see the bash scripts. The most useful was the proto, which updates the protoypes to the header file and .c files to the Makefile.
Some of these scripts might be useful for someone doing this project.
NOTE: make sure you understand what they do before you use them!

- ✅ Retry: 1 after two peer evaluations. Peer evaluator found edge cases for ft_strjoin.c and memory leaks in ft_strsplit.c for which I gave up and retried.
