# c-basic
|
|
This Repository features C source code i wrote to learn the C programming language. Currently the most advanced program included is an
|
|
unfinished implementation of the Huffman algorithm.
|
|
|
|
Some programs make use of outdated and unsafe functions such as `gets()` or `scanf()`, which **should never be used**.
|
|
That is the case, because we were taught to use some of these in programming classes. Ideally, all uses
|
|
of these unsafe functions should include a comment explaining why this is bad and also include and implemented
|
|
alternative, but that may not always be the case.
|
|
|
|
All code in this Repository was written on and for a Linux x86_64 system. It might not work on other systems.

## Makefile / Compiling
|
|
I have spent some time building a CMakeLists.txt. You can compile all source code using `cmake . && cmake --build .`.
|
|
|
|
### Note:
|
|
|
|
`scanf()` is not inherently unsafe, but must be handled very careful and isn't recommended by most, so i have
|
|
chosen to classify it as unsafe. If you know exactly what you are doing, using `scanf()` seems to be acceptable.
|
|
I consider the use of `scanf()` to be bad practice.
