Info1 Library for C

The purpose of this library is to provide initial support to Info1 (Introduction to CS) students at National Technological University as they begin programming in C, in the same way that training wheels work on a bicycle. It is based on Harvard CS50's libcs50.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

To build the library from source, the following tools are needed:

• git
• make
• gcc

On Ubuntu/Debian, you can install them with:

$ sudo apt-get install git build-essential

On other platforms, please use the corresponding package managing tool to install them before proceeding.

Building

You can get the source by "git clone" this git repository.

$ git clone https://github.com/jballoffet/libinfo1.git

To build the library execute the following:

$ cd libinfo1
$ make

Installing

To install the library execute the following:

$ cd libinfo1
$ sudo make install

Note: By default, the library will be installed to /usr/local. In case you'd like to change the installation location, change the value of INSTALL_DIR in the Makefile.

Uninstalling

To uninstall the library execute the following:

$ cd libinfo1
$ sudo make uninstall

Running the test app

To run the test application execute the following:

$ cd libinfo1
$ make test

Usage

If the library is installed, just link with linfo1, e.g.:

$ gcc -Wall -o app main.c -linfo1

If the library isn't installed, place the static library (libinfo1.a) in a known location and link with linfo1, e.g.:

$ gcc -Wall -o app main.c -L<library location> -linfo1

Then you can use it as follows:

#include <info1.h>

//...

String s = obtener_string("Ingrese un string: ");
char c = obtener_char("Ingrese un char: ");
int i = obtener_int("Ingrese un int: ");
long l = obtener_long("Ingrese un long: ");
float f = obtener_float("Ingrese un float: ");
double d = obtener_double("Ingrese un double: ");

//...
