C and C based languages - Programming techniques and tools

Programming techniques and tools - C and C based languages module C208

Programs don't run in isolation - they need to read in command line and environment variables from the user, and return results. They need to use standard libraries of functions, and they may need to be compiled up and prepared to run under a variety of different operating systems.

This topic is presented on public courses Programming in C, C and C++ Programming
