Functions in C Programming

Function groups a number of program statements into a unit and gives it a name. This unit can be invoked from other parts of a program. A computer program cannot handle all the tasks by it self. Instead its requests other program like entities – called functions in C – to get its tasks done. A function is a self contained, named block of statements that perform a coherent task of same kind.

Conditional Statements – Decision Statements – if, else

C programs are executed in a sequence, but we can control the execution of program by using any control mechanism by which we can compare things and come to a decision. This involves using some operations called Relational Operators, conditional statements called if-else and loops. We have fundamental operators to compare two values.

LibGD – Dynamic Image Creation Library

LibGD is an open source Graphics library for the creation of images dynamically by programmers. GD is written in C, and “wrappers” are available for Perl, PHP and other languages. GD is commonly used to generate charts, graphics, thumbnails, and most anything else, on the fly. While not restricted to use on the web, the most common applications of GD involve website development. It allows to quickly draw images complete with lines, arcs, text, multiple colors, cut and paste from other images, and flood fills, and write out the result as a PNG or JPEG file.

Standard Function Library – ANSI C

The SFL (Standard Function Library) is an open source portable function library for C/C++ programs. Written by iMatix, the SFL provides about 450 functions for compression, encryption, encoding, datatype conversion and formatting, dates, times, calendars, internet programming (MIME, CGI) and many more.

Disk Encryption Utility written in C Programming Language

Truecrypt is an Open Source utility written in C that allows you to encrypt files or disk volumes on Windows or Linux and is very secure. It creates a virtual encrypted dist within a file and mounts it as a real disk.

Adobe Source Libraries (ASL) and Open Source

Adobe Source Libraries (ASL) provides peer-reviewed and portable C++ source libraries. The libraries are intended to be widely useful, leveraging and extending both the C++ Standard Library and the Boost Libraries.

A Safer and Better C/C++ String Library

This is a better String Library which is superior to the existing C String library i.e. char string type, or C++’s std::string. It is safer with regard to buffer overflows, simpler than C string manipulation, works ok for ‘\0’ terminated strings and generally faster for common string operations.
