Libft is the first project we undertake at Hive Helsinki, which is a school in the 42 network. It is fundamental to the rest of our studies as we create our own C library with valuable functions that we make use of throughout the duration of the C curriculum.
As we are not permited to use most built-in C functions we need to handle string manipulation, memory management, character handling, linked list operations and so much more.
My libft has all the required functions from the project, plus a few more that I've added as I've needed them. So this is not an entirely faithful representation of the original project aims.
The functions in the first part of the project are copies of standard C library functions and are mostly for string manipulation.
In part 2, we look at more string manipulation. But this time, we use malloc and write. These functions are mostly not found in the standard C library.
In this part we were introduced to linked lists and linked list manipulation.
To compile the library, you can use the following commands:
makeormake all- Compiles the library.make clean- Removes the object files generated during compilation.make fclean- Removes the compiled library and the object files.make re- Forces a recompilation of the library.make bonus- Compiles the library including the bonus part.
