What you should learn from this project At the end of this project you are expected to be able to explain to anyone, without the help of Google:
How to use the exit function What are the functions callo and realloc from the standard library and how to use them
-
Trust no one Write a function that allocates memory using malloc. Prototype: void *malloc_checked(unsigned int b); Returns a pointer to the allocated memory if malloc fails, the malloc_checked function should cause normal process termination with a status value of 98
-
string_nconcat Write a function that concatenates two strings. Prototype: char *string_nconcat(char *s1, char *s2, unsigned int n); The returned pointer shall point to a newly allocated space in memory, which contains s1, followed by the first n bytes of s2, and null terminated If the function fails, it should return NULL If n is greater or equal to the length of s2 then use the entire string s2 if NULL is pass, treat it as an empty string
-
_calloc Write a function that allocates memory for an array, using malloc. Prototype: void *_calloc(unsigned int nmemb, unsigned int size); The _calloc function allocates memory for an array of nmemb elements of size bytes each and returns a pointer to the allocated memory. The memory is set to zero If nmemb or size is 0, then _calloc returns NULL If malloc fails, then _calloc returns NULL
-
array_range Write a function that creates an array of integers. Prototype: int *array_range(int min, int max); The array created should contain all the values from min (included) to max (included), ordered from min to max Return: the pointer to the newly created array If min > max, return NULL If malloc fails, return NULL
