C - Pointers, arrays and strings

In this project, I learned about what and how to use pointers and arrays and the differences between the two as well as how to use and manipulate strings in C.

Tests ✔️

  • tests: Folder of test files. Provided by Holberton School.

Helper File 🙌

  • _putchar.c: C function that writes a character to stdout.

Header File 📁

  • holberton.h: Header file containing prototypes for all functions written in the project.
File Prototype
0-reset_to_98.c void reset_to_98(int *n);
1-swap.c void swap_int(int *a, int *b);
2-strlen.c int _strlen(char *s);
3-puts.c void _puts(char *str);
4-print_rev.c void print_rev(char *s);
5-rev_string.c void rev_string(char *s);
6-puts2.c void puts2(char *str);
7-puts_half.c void puts_half(char *str);
8-print_array.c void print_array(int *a, int n);
9-strcpy.c char *_strcpy(char *dest, char *src);
100-atoi.c int _atoi(char *s);

Tasks 📃

  • 0. 98 Battery st.

    • 0-reset_to_98.c: C function that takes a pointer to an int as a parameter and updates the value it points to to 98.
  • 1. Don't swap horses in crossing a stream

    • 1-swap.c: C function that swaps the value of two integers.
  • 2. This report, by its very length, defends itself against the risk of being read

    • 2-strlen.c: C function that returns the length of a string.
  • 3. I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them

    • 3-puts.c: C function that prints a string, followed by a new line, to stdout.
  • 4. I can only go one way. I've not got a reverse gear

    • 4-print_rev.c: C function that prints a string, in reverse, followed by a new line.
  • 5. A good engineer thinks in reverse and asks himself about the stylistic consequences of the components and systems he proposes

  • 6. Half the lies they tell about me aren't true

    • 6-puts2.c: C function that prints every other character of a string, followed by a new line.
  • 7. Winning is only half of it. Having fun is the other half

    • 7-puts_half.c: C function that prints the second half of a string, followed by a new line.
  • 8. Arrays are not pointers

    • 8-print_array.c: C function that prints an input n elements of an array of integers, followed by a new line.
      • Numbers are separated by a comma followed by a space.
      • Numbers are displayed in the same order as they are stored in the array.
  • 9. strcpy

    • 9-strcpy.c: C function that copies the string pointed to by src, including the terminating null byte (\0), to the buffer pointed to by dest.
      • Returns the pointer to dest.
  • 10. Great leaders are willing to sacrifice the numbers to save the people. Poor leaders sacrifice the people to save the numbers

    • 100-atoi.c: C function that converts a string to an integer without using long, new variable arrays, or hard-coded special values, as follows:
      • The number in the string can be preceded by an infinite number of characters.
      • Takes into account all + and - signs before the number.
      • If there are no numbers in the string, the function returns 0.
  • 11. Don't hate the hacker, hate the code
