Donut-C

The famous C donut.

Description

I have always liked the C and C++ programming languages a lot, and I have always been aware of the existence of this well-known donut in C. Following the explanation in this video, I did it too.

More information in the documentation.

How to Run

For Linux Users

1. Install GCC (GNU Compiler Collection)

   The gcc command is part of the GCC (GNU Compiler Collection), which is a set of compilers for various programming languages. GCC is commonly used for compiling C and C++ programs.

   To install GCC on Linux, you can use your distribution's package manager. For example, on Debian-based systems like Ubuntu, you can use the apt package manager:

   sudo apt install gcc

   This command will install GCC along with any necessary dependencies.

2. Run the Code

   After installing GCC, you can compile and execute the code using the following command:

   gcc -o donut donut.c -lm && ./donut

   Here's a breakdown of the command:

   • gcc: This invokes the GNU Compiler Collection, which is used to compile C code.

   • -o donut: This option specifies the output file name (donut) for the compiled executable. Without this option, the default output file name is a.out.

   • donut.c: This is the source code file that you want to compile.

   • -lm: This option links the math library (-l) to your program. The math library (libm) provides mathematical functions like sin and cos which are used in the code.

   • &&: This operator allows you to execute multiple commands sequentially. In this case, it ensures that the compilation (gcc ...) is successful before attempting to execute (./donut) the compiled program.

   • ./donut: This command runs the compiled executable file named donut.

   Make sure you replace donut.c with the path to your actual source code file if it's located in a different directory.

Note

I use it in the following way:

clear && mkdir -p compiled && gcc -o compiled/donut "/home/renan/workspace/Donut-C/donut.c" -lm && ./compiled/donut

This explains the .gitignore file =)
