Chapters

Structure your code

You compile, you print, and you read what the compiler tells you.

0 / 5 complete5 modules

First programIn progressThe edit, compile, read the verdict loop.6/76 / 7 required1 to 2

Read the errorReading a compiler diagnostic and fixing the line it points at.0/50 / 5 required1 to 2

Types and valuesInteger types, implicit conversions, promotions and overflow.

Structure your code

You split a problem into functions and reach values through pointers.

0 / 4 complete

Text

You read, write and transform text without ever leaving the buffer.

4 / 6 complete

Memory

You own every allocation you make, and you can prove there is no leak.

Your own types

You model data with your own types and hide them behind an interface.

1 / 5 complete

The machine

You reason about bits, cost and files the way the machine does.

1 / 4 complete

The system

You make processes talk to each other without ever blocking.

0 / 1 complete

Characters and ASCIICompleteThe byte as a value, the ASCII table, and the classification predicates.4/44 / 4 required2 to 2

Strings: walking and searchingCompleteA string is an array of bytes plus its terminator, and nothing more.6/66 / 6 required2 to 4

Writing text without overflowingCompleteCapacity, termination, and the truncation you have to decide on.4/44 / 4 required3 to 4
