Libft is the first project once you enroll at School 42, serving as a cornerstone for learning the C programming language. It focuses on recreating various standard C library functions, empowering students to delve into the intricacies of these functions by implementing them from scratch.
🚨 Disclaimer: 🚨 I believe in transparency and growth. This project reflects my learning journey, and it might contain errors or mistakes. These imperfections are valuable, representing the learning process inherent in every project. Embracing these errors fuels progress and improvement. If you came here looking for my code capabilities, please consider the whole picture.
📚 Authentic Learning: 📚 At its core, School 42 encourages a culture of authentic learning. The emphasis lies not only in flawless execution but in understanding concepts, problem-solving, and honing coding skills. Copying or cheating dilutes the essence of this learning experience, hindering personal growth and skill development. For 42 students who might read this, I strongly advocate for discussing concepts with peers instead of directly referring to this code. If you came here for advices, my advice would be: learn to test your code, go read about test driven development.
🏫 About School 42: 🏫 School 42 is a unique coding school that operates under a peer-to-peer learning system. It fosters an environment where students learn by doing, collaborating, and problem-solving. At School 42, projects like libft are designed to impart practical knowledge and skill-building rather than focusing solely on theoretical aspects.
🧠 What future-me thinks he learned coding libft: 🧠 During the libft project, I focused on mastering pointers, using and understanding addresses, and memory comprehension and manipulation at a byte level. At first understanding linked lists and coding functions without real-world applications proved challenging. However I dealt with that in following projects and using my freshly-coded libft made sense. Do note that a significant part of this project was invested in crafting test functions, though they are not included here.
