C custom libraries

Question

I am new to programming, and I was wondering if there is a good source of well-programmable non-standard C-codes and libraries.

I figured out and did not find anything. I was a little surprised by this, especially because I was looking for a lot of Python examples and libraries and never found anything.

I already use standard libraries like stdio.c, stdlib.c and math.c, but I want to use some more specific C modules. For example, a graph processing library. (I really don't need this, just a collection of C, not C ++ or C #, resources and examples)

Answer 1

there is no centralized source for C libraries ... at least nothing looks like CPAN strings for Perl or Python package index for Python.

Since C is a kind of “standard” language for system programming, it often captures that libraries are written for C. You might want to try Freshmeat.net Advanced Search because it focuses on Unix software and there are many C libraries there. For example, here's what I came up with for finding a “graph library”: http://freshmeat.net/search/?section=projects&q=%2Bgraph+%2Blibrary , and you can filter these results by language, license, etc.

(And your English is pretty good! Which I can't say about all the posters here: -p)

Answer 2

If you are looking for a good C code repository to learn and learn, I recommend using GNU . You can find anything from small programs like cat for extremely large projects like Emacs and Gnome . All code is released under the GPL and can be freely included in the GPL’s free software.

Answer 3

I do not know any C-specific module sets. If I were looking for C modules, I would check sourceforge and freshmeat . Glib is also a fantastic library.

Answer 4

You can also consider the book C ++ Numerical Recipes or the older C Numerical Recipes (maybe this doesn't print), depending on your algorithmic needs.

[EDIT] I did not initially see this, but found a link to an older book here .
