TripleCLangLab

This project is a comprehensive collection of code examples and tutorials for three programming languages: C, C++, and C#. Each language has its own directory, which contains subdirectories for various fundamental programming concepts and features. This structure is designed to help learners understand and practice essential topics in each language.

Requirements

To build and run the examples in this project, you will need the following tools and software installed on your system:

• GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) for compiling C programs.
• G++ (GNU C++ Compiler) for compiling C++ programs.
• Mono or .NET SDK for compiling and running C# programs.
• Make for using the provided Makefile to automate the build process.

Installation Instructions

1. GCC and G++:

   • On Ubuntu/Debian:

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install build-essential

   • On macOS using Homebrew:

   brew install gcc

2. Mono or .NET SDK:

   • Mono:
     • On Ubuntu/Debian:

     sudo apt-get install mono-complete

     • On macOS using Homebrew:

     brew install mono

   • .NET SDK:
     • Follow the installation instructions from the official .NET website.

3. Make:

   • On Ubuntu/Debian:

   sudo apt-get install make

   • On macOS, make is included with Xcode command line tools. Install it with:

   xcode-select --install

⚠️ Note for Non-macOS Users

Please note that the Mono dependency in the Makefile has been configured specifically for macOS. If you're using a different operating system, such as Linux or Windows, you may need to adjust the Mono configuration accordingly or use an alternative method for compiling and running C# code.

• variables: Variable declaration, initialization, and scope, including static and dynamic variables.

C-Sharp Directory

• classes: Concepts of classes, objects, inheritance, and interfaces in C#.
• conditionals: Conditional statements using if, else if, switch, and pattern matching.
• constants: Usage of const for defining constants.
• exceptions: Exception handling using try, catch, finally, and custom exceptions.
• helloworld: The classic "Hello, World!" program.
• loops: Looping constructs such as for, foreach, while, and do-while.

• types: Basic data types, type conversions, and nullable types.
• variables: Variable declaration, initialization, and scope, including local and global variables.

Using the Makefile

The provided Makefile simplifies the process of compiling and running your programs. Here is a brief explanation of how to use it:

• build: To compile and run a source file, use the make build command followed by the file parameter specifying the source file.

  make build file=path/to/your/sourcefile.ext

  Depending on the file extension (.c, .cpp, or .cs), the appropriate compiler will be selected (GCC for C, G++ for C++, and CSC for C#).

• clean: To clean the directory by removing all files that are not in the ignore list (defined within the Makefile), use the make clean command.

  make clean
  

• help: To display help information about the available make commands, use the make help command.

  make help
  

Build Instructions

To compile and run the code examples, you can use the provided Makefile. Below are the detailed instructions on how to build and execute the programs.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Lucho00Cuba/TripleCLangLab.git
   cd TripleCLangLab

2. Build and run a specific file:

   # Use the make build command with the file option to specify the source file you want to compile
   make build file=path/to/your/sourcefile.ext

   Replace path/to/your/sourcefile.ext with the actual path to the source file you want to compile and run. Ensure the file extension is .c for C files, .cpp for C++ files, or .cs for C# files.

Example Usage

1. C Example:

   # Build and run the helloworld.c file
   make build file=c/helloworld/helloworld.c

   This command will compile and run the helloworld.c program in the c/helloworld directory.

2. C++ Example:

   # Build and run the helloworld.cpp file
   make build file=c++/helloworld/helloworld.cpp

   This command will compile and run the helloworld.cpp program in the c++/helloworld directory.

3. C# Example:

   # Build and run the helloworld.cs file
   make build file=csharp/helloworld/helloworld.cs

   This command will compile and run the helloworld.cs program in the csharp/helloworld directory.
