The C Programming Language is a classic programming book. The exercises are designed so that you can solve them with the knowledge acquired up to that point in the book.

These solutions are meant to help those learning C. If you're working through the book, try solving the exercises yourself first!

• Editor: Any text editor works.VS Code with theC/C++ extension is recommended.
• Debugger:LLDB (macOS) orGDB (Linux)
• Formatter:clang-format

This project is open source. Feel free to use these solutions for learning!
