        # Libft

![](https://github.com/whoismtrx/42_Libft/blob/main/Libft.gif)

## Overview

This project remakes some usual C language functions and adds a few new ones that will help students. The main goal is to make a set of functions that can be used again in later work, so students don't have to write them from scratch each time. This set of functions will be needed for most projects at 42. the project is a great opportunity to improve your skills in C programming and to learn about the structure of a library.

## Key Features

The project contains 2 parts: `Mandatory` and `Bonus`. you need also to create a `Makefile` that compiles the library and a `libft.h` file which outputs an archive called `libft.a`.

- `Mandatory` part contains functions from `Libc` and `Additional` ones that are useful for everyday programming.

- `Bonus` part contains functions that are useful for linked list manipulation.

## Getting Started

to get started with using `libft`, clone the repository and compile the library using the provided Makefile.

```

git clone https://github.com/whoismtrx/42_Libft.git libft

cd libft

make

```

## Usage

to use the library in your project, include the `libft.h` header file in your source code and link the library when compiling.

```

// example.c

#include "libft.h"

```

```

cc example.c libft.a -o example

```

## Resources

As a student, you can use the following resources to help you understand the C Language and the project better:

- `C Language`: this playlist on [C Language Tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=si-KFFOW2gw&list=PLVlQHNRLflP8IGz6OXwlV_lgHgc72aXlh&index=3&ab_channel=NareshiTechnologies) will help you understand more than the basics of the C language.

- `Pointers`: this video on [Pointers in C/C++](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuegQmMdy8M&ab_channel=freeCodeCamp.org) from [freeCodeCamp](https://www.youtube.com/@freecodecamp) will help you understand pointers in C.

- `Libc functions`: you can find more information about these functions in the `man` pages visit the [man7.org](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/man.7.html) or type on your terminal

	```

	man strlen

	or

	man 3 strlen

	```

- `Linked Lists`: this video on [Linked Lists Introduction](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Yn5DU0_-lw&list=PLDV1Zeh2NRsB6SWUrDFW2RmDotAfPbeHu&index=6) from [WilliamFiset](https://www.youtube.com/@WilliamFiset-videos) will help you understand them and how to manipulate them. if you want to learn more about [Doubly Linked lists](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-8ZBO2ywaU&list=PLDV1Zeh2NRsB6SWUrDFW2RmDotAfPbeHu&index=7), you can see the part two.
