Separating interface from implementation has many practical benefits. Here’s a simple way to do just that, in ANSI-standard C code. How do you organize medium-sized or larger C programs? Few C ...

From our study of C++, it should be clear that, unlike class encapsulation and single inheritance, which were essentially free in C, polymorphism in C involves some complexity and overhead. In the ...

Part 1 explains how Atmel used the Target tools to develop a DSP optimized for C programming. In the first part of this two part series, we outlined the main reasons we designed the mAgic DSP ...

The ubiquitous field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is finding use as a software accelerator in many applications, including the communications, image processing, biomedical, and scientific computing ...

Continuing with our programming series, we will talk about Function – much of all that it entails. Understanding functions is important if you want to learn how to code. The same applies to current ...

A common task for a program is to read data from a file. To read from a text file in C, you will need to open a file stream using the fopen() function. Once a file stream has been opened, you can then ...
