# Learning Objectives
At the end of this project, you are expected to be able to [explain to anyone](https://intranet.alxswe.com/rltoken/VGWjGaWZbgcLYTwfLEBmmQ), **without the help of Google:**
## 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](https://github.com/alx-tools/Betty/blob/master/betty-style.pl) and [betty-doc.pl](https://github.com/alx-tools/Betty/blob/master/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
- The first line of all your files should be exactly `#!/bin/bash`
# More Info
## Betty linter
### Installing betty linter for .c files
```shell
mkdir Betty && cd Betty
```
```shell
git clone https://github.com/holbertonschool/Betty.git
```
```shell
cd Betty
```
```shell
sudo ./install.sh
```
Put this inside `betty` file
Or
```shell
echo '#!/bin/bash
# Simply a wrapper script to keep you from having to use betty-style
# and betty-doc separately on every item.
# Originally by Tim Britton (@wintermanc3r), multiargument added by
# Larry Madeo (@hillmonkey)
BIN_PATH="/usr/local/bin"
BETTY_STYLE="betty-style"
BETTY_DOC="betty-doc"
if [ "$#" = "0" ]; then
echo "No arguments passed."
exit 1
fi
for argument in "$@" ; do
echo -e "\n========== $argument =========="
${BIN_PATH}/${BETTY_STYLE} "$argument"
${BIN_PATH}/${BETTY_DOC} "$argument"
done' > betty
```
```shell
chmod u+x betty
```
```shell
sudo mv betty /bin/
```
To check style:
```shell
betty filename.c
```
