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 ...

In the GenAI era, program comprehension is not just another skill in the toolbox; it is the toolbox itself. It enables learners to move beyond passive acceptance of AI outputs, guiding them to ...

Suppose we are given a finite subset $E \subset \mathbb{R}^n $ and a function f : E → ℝ. How to extend f to a $C^m $ function $F\,:\,\mathbb{R}^{n\,} \, \to ...

The C language has been a programming staple for decades. Here’s how it stacks up against C++, Java, C#, Go, Rust, Python, and the newest kid on the block—Carbon. The C programming language has been ...

The problem is considered of maximizing a function in a convex region. To solve this problem a new method is developed, to be called "method of feasible directions". It is a method of steep ascent.
