alx-low_level_programming

• This repo is all about low level programming in C according the curriculum used by ALX build our computer science foundations.

DIRECTORIES	PRACTISED CONCEPTS
0x00-hello_world	very basics of C.
0x01-variables_if_else_while	Understanding variables and basics of conditional statements(if...else statements) and loops.
0x02-functions_nested_loops	Introduction to functions and nested loops.
0x03-debugging	Important debugging techniques.
0x04-more_functions_nested_loops	Here we practiced more on functions and nested loops...deepening our understanding.
0x05-pointers_arrays_strings	We began our journey with pointers, arrays, and strings...looking at the connection between these concepts.
0x06-pointers_arrays_strings	This was a deep learning curve, learnt a lot and was confused by a lot. Took me some time to understand.
0x07-pointers_arrays_strings	Another deeper look into these concepts, my brain is still hurting from this.
0x08-recursion	Haha!!! Another confusing computer science concept, I am still trying to understand this further. But it was a superb learning experience.
0x09-static_libraries	I love this part...creating a static library from all object files in a project has a lot of benefits...I will put links to articles that butresses all these concepts below.
0x0A-argc_argv	Sometimes, one needs to receive command line arguments into a program especially when creating command line tools.
0x0B-malloc_free	Here I learnt how to allocate memory dynamically using malloc and free. Was a wonderful learning experience. Implemented some inbuilt functions and some tricky task in order to better understand the concepts.
0x0C-more_malloc_free	Here we looked deeper into allocating memory dynamically on the heap, because sometimes the amount of memory to be used by the user is not predictable. We also implemented calloc and realloc using only malloc function. Remember, we are 95% of the time not allowed to use standard library except stdlib.h.
0x0D-preprocessor	Learning about preprocessor directives that makes our program more efficient.
