Challenge
The first project of the curriculum: understanding in depth how the C standard functions work by rewriting them yourself, in order to then have a reusable library throughout the whole program.

Libft, a C library reimplementing libc functions
École 42 project: a C reimplementation of a set of libc functions (strings, memory, conversions) and utilities (linked lists), bundled into a static library.
École 42 Paris
Impact
- Static C library reused in the following projects of the curriculum
- libc functions rewritten from scratch (strings, memory, conversions)
- Linked-list manipulation utilities
Context
Built in 2021 at École 42 Paris, this C project requires handling memory management (malloc/free) and edge cases yourself.
What was done
Besides the standard manipulation functions, the library includes character tests and functions on file descriptors, all assembled through a Makefile.
