ilangovan Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 hey there! i'm ilango and i'm new to this forum. Here we go, my question is how many header files in ANSI C. Help me out quick!!! Thanx........
NeonBlack Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 I swear I saw this exact same question about 2 weeks ago... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_standard_library#ANSI_Standard
TrickyPeach Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 I swear I saw this exact same question about 2 weeks ago...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_standard_library#ANSI_Standard I can't imagine why anybody would want to know how many there are, I understand asking what are their names, what do they do, but the their population surely is irrelevant?
NeonBlack Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Who uses ANSI C anymore? Haven't you started enough arguments like this already?
TrickyPeach Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Who uses ANSI C anymore? I think mainly university students, as far as I know. Do you not approve of it?
bascule Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 I think mainly university students, as far as I know. Do you not approve of it? I think C is pretty useless without POSIX, or failing that, Win32 *groan*...
TrickyPeach Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 I think C is pretty useless without POSIX, or failing that, Win32 *groan*... I actually like C as a language, when I did a crash course offered by my uni in it and then used it to build compilers and in conjunction with OpenGL I found to be quite an enjoyable language. But I have been told my "taste" (for lack of a better word) in programming languages is bad by a few people. I seem to be one of the few people, to like and enjoy using scheme and prolog as well. On the actual usefulness of C, I'm assuming you mean implementing something that will be used commercially? Because C was pretty useful doing what I just mentioned above, which by the way was all done on Linux as I'm not fond of anything MS-related.
bascule Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 You seem to be a bit confused. ANSI C has a rather limited standard library. This says nothing about C the language, only the contents of "libc" POSIX provides a much more diverse selection of functions, most of which aren't available in ANSI C. That said, Scheme and Prolog are both interesting languages.
