The ANSI C programming language: Some of the exercises

This is a repo containing my attempts at some of the exercices present in the "The ANSI C programming language book" book.

In fact, I am okay at C and have some good familiarity with it, but decided I would better get back to the roots from now, before I learn more advanced stuff only to find myself standing on an unbalanced base ...

Each exercice will have the page it's taken from at the top of it, and each exercice will have two files, the .c file and the .out file (compiled: $ gcc file_name.c -o file_name.out). Additionally, if the code requires input (which most of the first chapter's ones do), I might add a test file (although I mostly just use the code's file for testing).

Basic workflow for now:

• Read the assignment and code it
• Compile: $ gcc file_name.c -o file_name.out
• Run (with input file) $ cat test_file | ./file_name.out

I moved to using a Makefile as the projects got bigger and more complex.

I followed a semi-generic template from this website: https://www.cs.swarthmore.edu/~newhall/unixhelp/howto_makefiles.html#creating

Next steps

I added the data structures folder to explore the most basic data structures through C, and for that I will be following a YouTube series by Jacob Sorber. As for C, I know most of these data structures, but I decided to get back and learn them in a more fundamental level to gain deeper understanding of all of it.
