Libft

This project was completed as part of the curriculum at School 42. The goal of the project is to implement a library of standard C functions, as well as additional useful functions that are not part of the standard library.

Installation

To use the library in your own projects, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Open a terminal window and navigate to the root directory of the project.
3. Run the command make to compile the library.
4. Include the header file libft.h in your source code.

Usage

The library includes a variety of functions for working with strings, memory, lists, and more. All functions are named according to the convention ft_<function_name>. For a full list of functions and their descriptions, see the libft.h header file.

In addition to the standard library functions, the library includes a number of useful functions that are not part of the standard library. These include:

• ft_strjoin: Concatenates two strings into a new string.
• ft_split: Splits a string into an array of substrings using a specified delimiter.
• ft_lstadd_back: Adds a new element to the end of a linked list.
• ft_lstsize: Returns the number of elements in a linked list.

Example

Here's an example of how to use the library to concatenate two strings:

#include "libft.h"

int main()
{
    char *s1 = "Hello, ";
    char *s2 = "world!";
    char *result = ft_strjoin(s1, s2);
    ft_putstr(result);
    ft_putchar('\n');
    return 0;
}

In this example, the ft_strjoin function is used to concatenate two strings, which are then printed to the screen using the ft_putstr and ft_putchar functions.
