Compile method and interpreter method
I continue to study C in a small and slow way.
I ended up buying a big introductory book on C.
I'm glad I bought it, because it explains the little things that have been bugging me.
The small parts are, for example, what does stdio stand for, and what is the 'f' in printf, and so on.
On the page of the book I read today, there is a description of the C processing system, and it says that the compile method, which translates the source program into a form that can be directly understood and executed by the computer, is the mainstream, but there is also the interpreter method, which interprets the program one line at a time, and the latter tends to be slower in execution speed.
When I read that, I had a good impression of the interpreter method.
I felt as if the interpreter method was like me.
But then I read in another book that this big introductory book I bought did not include a section on dynamic memory allocation.
Now I have no idea what that means.
