<h3>Venturing back into C</h3>
<p>For the past two weeks or so I have been diving back into C
programming. I've found it to be a very fun and refreshing experience
coming off of a slog of Java 11 updates at work. I've found comfort
in its simplicity and frustrations in my "I can do this without an
IDE" mindset.</p>
<p>I started C programming in College during a 8 AM course of which all I
can remember is that it was at 8 AM. I loved programming in C, dealing
with memory, pointers, no strings, structs, no strings, linking, no
strings. It was a really interesting difference from the web and Java
programming I had done previously. Obviously the lack of the
"string" type made things interesting and initially a challenge
for me back then. In my most recent endevour I found <code class=
'inline'>char *</code> to be perfectly suitable for every case I came
across. It was usually a separate library that was failing me, not a
fixed char array. This was mostly due to the types of programs I was
writting in college were text adventures where all of what I did was
using strings. And my lack of understanding of what was actually
happening in C was really what was causing all the issues.</p>
