Overview

It's a project mainly about introducing C, meanwhile, a certain amount of CPP is involved . It aims to become a useful reference to look up the key usage of features in C and obeys the modern standard as much as possible.

• lcthw is the handy practice on the book Learn C the Hard way by Zed A Shaw.
• library is third party library.
  • GSL is used to assist scientific computation supported by GNU Scientific Library.
  • POSIX make use of the hardware's improvements.

Main features

• Documentation

  Make documentation for part of the code base.

  ❌ Doxygen is not an idea tool to make documentation to me, I really can't agree with its taste. (I was wrong, I didn't know what I was talking about.)

  Basic procedure

  • doxygen -g

  • customize Doxyfile

    eg: Modify the items as below

    PROJECT_NAME           = "C Training"
    PROJECT_NUMBER         = "1.0"
    # Where to put the file generated by doxygen Doxyfile
    OUTPUT_DIRECTORY       = "docs"
    # Extract the comment from all source code in the specified directory
    EXTRACT_ALL            = YES
    QUIET                  = YES
    # Specify what to include in documentation.
    INPUT                  = LeetCode/Tree LeetCode/LinkedList
    RECURSIVE              = YES
    GENERATE_LATEX         = NO
    

  • doxygen Doxyfile

  • Edit code comment while checking index.html in a browser.

  • publish it to github pages

Memory leak testing

• Applying Docker to solve the the problem of no proper Valgrind for a specific OS version.
• Developing inside a Container!

  The Visual Studio Code Remote - Containers extension lets you use a Docker container as a full-featured development environment. It allows you to open any folder inside (or mounted into) a container and take advantage of Visual Studio Code's full feature set.

Configure a handy text editor

• Vim.

  A reference for beginner to set it up for C

• Atom

• VS code

Warnings and directions

The small program is tomorrow's building block in a larger project. So avoid writing any one program ugly, think it over and over to make it robust and exquisite.

There are some standards to test whether or not you are qualified to do the programming job. You shouldn't say things like -I have no idea of how to be a qualified programmer again.

Standards to tell you whether or not you are qualified

It's not hard to be a good programmer compared with to be a good physicist.

There are many resources already available online. You need to go through several tests. You can clearly see different stages which you are in along the way toward realizing what you long for.

• What the basics you are supposed to know.
• There are many problems for you to take a try.
  Tackling down the problems help you to understand how things work better.
• When you can ask for an interview?
• Code Jam: Advanced level to participate.
• leetcode, take the challenge.
