Create dynamically-allocated arrays of any data type in the C language.

Dynamic Array Library

The Dynamic Array Library is a C library that provides a dynamic array data structure, allowing you to work with resizable arrays in your C projects. It offers simple and intuitive functions to manage dynamic arrays efficiently.

Features

• Dynamically resizable array data structure.
• Efficient insertion, removal, and replacement of elements.
• Ability to access elements by index.
• Automatic memory management for dynamic resizing.
• Simple initialization and freeing of dynamic arrays.

Getting Started

To use the Dynamic Array Library in your project, follow these steps:

1. Clone the Repository: Clone this repository to your local machine.

2. Include the Library: Copy the dynamicarray.h and dynamicarray.c files from the src directory into your project directory.

3. Compile: Compile with make command to get output on build directory.

4. Use the Library: Include the dynamicarray.h header in your source files where you want to use the library's functionality. See the library's functions and documentation to understand how to work with dynamic arrays.

Usage Example

Here's a simple example of using the Dynamic Array Library to create a resizable array of integers:

#include "dynamicarray.h"

int main() {
    daArray intArray = {};    // Make sure to zero-initialize all daArray objects for consistent behavior.
    daInit(&intArray, 10, sizeof(int), true); // Initialize with 10 elements, each sizeof(int) bytes.

    int value = 42;
    daPushBack(&intArray, &value);

    int retrievedValue = *(int*)daGet(&intArray, 0);
    printf("Retrieved value: %d\n", retrievedValue);

    daFree(&intArray); // Free the dynamic array's memory.

    return 0;
}
