From Scratch to C: My First 3 Weeks Inside Harvard’s CS50
When I attended the opening lectures of CS50x (Harvard's flagship Introduction to Computer Science course), Professor David J. Malan gave an upfront…
Why doubling makes a dynamic array O(1) (and the realloc bug almost everyone writes)
If you have used std::vector or Python lists, you have used a dynamic array. In C you have to build it yourself, and two details decide whether it i…
Removing Duplicates from a Simple Dynamic Array for C
Introduction Previously, I described a full implementation for a simple dynamic array in C that I’ve been using in my include-tidy (Tidy) project. W…
