Word Count Mastery

Custom Word Count Utility in C

Where programming meets precision – Explore the art of efficient text processing.

📖 Project Overview:

Welcome to the showcase of C programming prowess, where the Custom Word Count Utility project stands as a testament to the power of raw file I/O, dynamic memory management, and meticulous text parsing. This repository is your gateway to exploring a detailed implementation of a word count utility, designed to offer insights into manual buffer management and efficient memory use in C programming.

🗂 Repository Structure:

  • src/: Home to the C source files that form the backbone of our utility.
  • doc/: Contains detailed documentation, including the project's specifications and implementation notes.
  • bin/: The compiled binaries and executable files, resulting from the project compilation.

📘 Documentation:

Dive deep into the essence of our project with comprehensive documentation. From implementation strategies to optimization details, everything you need to grasp the utility's scope and depth is here.

🔧 Setup and Execution Guide:

  1. Clone the Repository:

    • git clone [repository URL]. Replace [repository URL] with the actual URL of this GitHub repository.
  2. Compile the Utility:

    • Navigate to the project directory and run make. This compiles the source code into an executable named wc, employing strict compiler flags for optimal standards compliance and error handling.
  3. Run the Word Count:

    • Execute ./wc path/to/your/file.txt to count the words in your specified text file. The utility outputs the total word count, providing a reliable measure of text content.

📝 Note:

This guide assumes a basic familiarity with C programming and compilation. For detailed instructions on specific steps or troubleshooting, refer to the provided documentation and comments within the source code.
