Usage:

int array[] = {9,4,8,1,7,0,3,2,5,6}; // test array

int length = LENGTH(array);

C++ Crash Course: Solutions to Exercises in Part 1, Chapter 1.

For the last while, I have been busy with ESP32 and Arduino programming, but now I finally have time to ram through this book and the exercises. There are a few repositories on Github where people have offered solutions to some of these exercises, but I find that they are often not complete. Therefore, I am endeavouring to make a more complete listing, or at least fill in some of the holes. Here is a video and a link to the repository for the solutions to Part 1, Chapter 1. The exercises can be found at the end of each chapter. I am back-tracking a bit from where I am in Part 1 Chapter 5, which is where I am currently studying.

C programming and relevancy

The C language is likely to remain with us for the foreseeable future. Here are a few interesting points about the C language that I was able to find while reading some posts on the topic. Links to original posts included. Another useful advantage of the C language:  C vs. Assembly In theory, I am a proponent of assembly language. In reality, I have reached a point in my life at which assembly language is a threat to both my financial security and my sanity. Writing firmware in assembly is slow and error-prone, and maintaining an adequate level of organization in long, complex programs is hopelessly difficult. However, I will certainly insist that you cannot really understand  high-level languages  if you don’t understand assembly. If you’ve never had the opportunity to gain some solid experience with assembly language, you should at least familiarize yourself with some of the basic concepts before you dive into C. The articles listed above in the Supporting Information ...
