The C Programming Language is the most fundamental resource of C programming. The C Language is designed as a system programming language and the authors Brian W. Kerninghan & Dennis M. Ritchie explained its core functionalities clearly. The book contains lots of example and exercise. Although there are similar kind of examples for each exercise, sometimes it is hard to figure out the solution.
This repository contains solutions of the exercises in an elegant way. There are lots of repository which contains solution of the K&R book; however, it is observed that many of them were made superficially. For this reason, i take care of source codes are well-commented and solutions are inspirational.
It is aimed to this work will help to anyone which embarks on the path of learning the C programming language. With or without the book, anyone who wants can follow exercises. Solutions as well as related questions combined in the source code for each exercise.
Naming convention and coding style is critical for understanding code written by someone else.

Despite of advantages, it is not recommended usage of any IDE when learning a programming language. The way to feel coding and observing behind the scene of compilation process is using a shell. Only need is a text editor to develop a C program. After development, it can be converted to an executable file by using a C compiler. However, usage of debugger tools such gdb or lldb on a shell can take lots of time. For debug purpose, I used JetBrains CLion IDE.
I developed the solutions by using Sublime Text for the editor, gcc/clang for the compiler and gdb/lldb on CLion for the debugging tool. GNU/Linux, MacOS or Windows can be used, is not a matter. I selected Linux Mint, mostly.
Like everything else, programming languages evolve over time. So it is important which standard of the language is used. I developed all solutions under C17. All of them tested under these conditions. If you notice a bug, you can pull a request or an issue.
Since the C Language is one of native languages, it is needed to compile it before execute. Each exercise folder contains related source codes and header files. There is tons of resource explains how the compiling process. You can follow documentation of the compiler you used, e.g. clang or gcc.
This project is static and limited by the source book. However, if there is a bug or mistake in any exercise, it is welcomed any contribution, i.e. a pull request, an issue or a comment.
