C and C based languages - Standard Libraries and other headers

Standard Libraries and other headers - C and C based languages module C211

If you want to do something and think "surely that's been done before", then it probably has been. C is supplied with a library of standard funcions and header files that save you the need to rewrite many of the basics that you'll need, and we'll introduce you to these standard components in this module. We'll also show you where to find other sources of code that's already written, and suggest that you might like to share your work similarly.
