C Programming Examples
Here are a few snippets written in C that are a good representation of the code listings you might see in this course. It is suggested that you follow the links and browse the source code listings. If necessary, download the various samples and run them locally to verify your understanding.

Makefile Example
If you have never used Makefiles before, then here is a great tutorial explaining how they work (tutorial uses g++ instead of gcc).
While more complex syntaxes are possible, we have limited the following Makefile example to something that is both simple and readable. If you can understand this example, then you should be capable of following the Makefile policy for the course's projects.
# specify the compiler
CC=gcc
# specify options for the compiler
CFLAGS=-c -Wall
all: hello
hello: main.o hello.o
$(CC) main.o hello.o -o hello
main.o: main.cpp
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) main.cpp
hello.o: hello.cpp
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) hello.cpp
clean:
rm -rf *o hello
