C Fundamentals Course

This is a companion repository for the C Fundamentals course on Frontend Masters.

Welcome!

There are slides for this workshop which reference the exercises in this repo.

Setup Instructions

For this workshop, you'll need to be running one of these operating systems:

• macOS
• Linux, BSD, or another UNIX variant
• Linux Subsystem for Windows (regular Windows will not work for this workshop!)

Any of these operating systems should have everything you need already installed.

To verify this, clone this repository, then run the following terminal command in the root directory where you checked out the repo:

gcc -o verify verify.c && ./verify

It should print "You're all set!"

Troubleshooting

If running that command didn't print "You're all set!", you'll need to install either GCC or Clang - either will work fine, so choose whichever you think will be easier to install.

These exercises all say to run gcc, but you can subsitute clang for gcc and it should always work in the case of these examples; clang and gcc accept almost identical CLI flags.

Fun fact: macOS actually ships with clang but aliases it to gcc, so if you run gcc --version on macOS, it prints out Apple clang version ___.
