Repository Overview

This repository contains exercises focused on C strings, developed as part of the Foundations of Computer Science course during my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Catania. Each exercise aims to strengthen understanding of string manipulation, algorithms, and data structures in C programming.

The exercises range from basic string operations to more complex algorithms, providing a solid foundation for anyone looking to improve their skills in C programming.

Topics Covered

This repository touches on several important topics in computer science and programming:

• Algorithms: Understand how to implement and optimize string-related algorithms.
• C Programming: Gain practical experience with C language syntax and features.
• Data Structures: Learn how strings can be represented and manipulated using various data structures.
• Debugging: Develop skills to identify and fix bugs in string manipulation code.
• English Language: Improve technical writing and documentation skills.
• Git & GitHub: Learn version control and collaboration through Git and GitHub.
• Imperative Programming: Understand the principles of imperative programming in C.
• Markdown: Use Markdown for documentation and README files.
• Project Management: Manage your code and exercises effectively.
