These files are my solutions to Kernighan and Ritchie's The C Programming Language, 2nd Edition. The aim is to deepen my understanding of C, using only the concepts covered in content that comes before each exercise. That means no "cheating" by using standard library features that aren't covered in the book yet. According to comp.lang.c, this is known as Category-0 compliant. As a result, many of my solutions will probably not be "the best", but suitable for the goal at hand: learning.

I chose this route because as I read through the K&R, I didn't feel like I was learning anything new. C is known for its simplicity and efficiency, so I thought, "If I'm not learning anything about efficiency and simplifying my programs, then why am I learning C?" I tackled a few exercises and found that I was beginning to learn a few things I hadn't ran into before, and this repository was born.

Critique is welcome, but please keep in mind the limitations I've outlined in the first paragraph. Some incomplete implementations are noted, which I intend on revisiting or annotating. Any questions, suggestions, and advice are welcome.
