0x00 C - Hello, World

Learning Objectives

• 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 Holberton 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

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

Betty linter

To run the Betty linter just with command betty <filename>:

• Go to the Betty repository https://github.com/holbertonschool/Betty
• Clone the repo to your local machine
• cd into the Betty directory
• Install the linter with sudo ./install.sh
• emacs or vi a new file called betty, and copy the script below:

` #!/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`

• Once saved, exit file and change permissions to apply to all users with chmod a+x betty.
• Move the betty file into /bin/ directory or somewhere else in your $PATH with sudo mv betty /bin/
• You can now type betty <filename to run the Betty linter!
