General Why C programming is awesome Who invented C Who are Dennis Ritchie, Brian Kernighan and Linus Torvalds What happens when you type gcc main.c What is an entry point What is main How to print text using printf, puts and putchar How to get the size of a specific type using the unary operator sizeof How to compile using gcc What is the default program name when compiling with gcc What is the official C coding style and how to check your code with betty-style How to find the right header to include in your source code when using a standard library function How does the main function influence the return value of the program Requirements C Allowed editors: vi, vim, emacs All your files will be compiled on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS using gcc, using the options -Wall -Werror -Wextra -pedantic -std=gnu89 All your files should end with a new line A README.md file at the root of the repo, containing a description of the repository A README.md file, at the root of the folder of this project, containing a description of the project There should be no errors and no warnings during compilation You are not allowed to use system Your code should use the Betty style. It will be checked using betty-style.pl and betty-doc.pl Shell Scripts Allowed editors: vi, vim, emacs All your scripts will be tested on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS All your scripts should be exactly two lines long ($ wc -l file should print 2) All your files should end with a new line More Info Betty linter To run the Betty linter just with command betty :
Go to the Betty repository Clone the repo to your local machine cd into the Betty directory Install the linter with sudo ./install.sh emacs or vi a new file called betty, and copy the script below:
