Week 1

A few things to note as well:

• Source code => [compiler] => Machine Code
• One must recompile after making changes to the source code
• C is not dynamically typed!
• CLI - Command Line Interface
• I can now stop using rm -r dir/ to remove directories in bash now as rmdir dir/ would work just fine too
• Use prototyping to make the compiler aware of functions which may exist further down the source code
• Make use of the debugger!
• Typecasting – fancy term for describing conversion of values from one data type to another. Say, from String ('18') to integer (18).
• Sentinel values – e.g. \0, singinifies termination of some sort.
• Segmentation fault – an error which occurs when one’s program is trying to access memory which has not been allocated to it.
