The C0 Language

The C Language

In the last four weeks, the course transitions to C in preparation for subsequent systems courses. Emphasis is on transferring positive habits developed with the use of C0, and on practical advice for avoiding the pitfalls and understanding the idiosyncrasies of C. We use the valgrind tool to test proper memory management.

Programming Environments

You are welcome to use any programming environment that suits you to write your programming assignments. However, all programming homework will be graded by running them on a Unix system using Autolab — you may want to make sure they work on Andrew Unix. Popular environment choices include emacs, vim, VSCode, and sublime, but you should use what works for you: an environment that allows you to write code quickly and efficiently.
