I took a C course ages ago and I am trying to refresh my memory. I have
found many tutorials on C on the web. I am going through some of them
now. I have already found a few that have errors in their examples or
examples that are incomplete. Also, when searching, many of the results
would return C++ links instead of C links.
As I am using Linux and gcc, I want to focus on using these tools. I
had Turbo C but it was a Windows 3.1 version.
I need to learn C for working with microcontrollers for a few projects
that I that I am now working on.
Now to dig through my boxes of books and find my C books, if I still
have them.
Also, if you are going to use gcc, then look at the man pages for
compiler flags and linking libraries. I came across this yesterday when
I was looking for a lint program. Also you and type in man 3 {function}
to get more information on that function.
man 3 cos
