Pacman Rules concept exercise

[colinleach]

Draft for now, until there is a policy decision about exemplar/example and header files.

This is a pretty straight ripoff of the C++ version, with a couple of exceptions.

The test file is, of course, new. This is my first experience of Unity, so I'l wait for your comments on what I did wrong.

The introduction.md starts with Bob's version in the Booleans concept, but I removed the section on comparison operators: not needed here, and will be covered in the Conditionals concept. I also added a bit on operator precedence from C++, but I'm not sure if it's needed.

This passes configlet lint and configlet fmt, but I still need to configure my fork to enable manual CI runs (something about workflow_dispatch that I need to read up on). CI is going to fail in any case.

While I go away and learn about clang-format (overdue learning, apparently), I'll just note that format.sh only operates on practice exercises.

[colinleach]

Now I'm confused. I let clang-format -i <filename> make a bunch of changes lcally, pushed them, and I'm still getting lots of errors. Any suggestions?

You should be able to have GitHub do it for you by leaving a comment with this in the body:

/format

See:

c/.github/workflows/format-code.yml

Line 11 in 37a5a6e

if: github.event.issue.pull_request != '' && contains(github.event.comment.body, '/format')

Looks like this may not work for forks

For now just ignore it and I can format it on my Linux machine prior to merge.

Thanks. I'm obviously not doing everything right on my Linux machine, so it would be good to understand this at some later point.

More than likely it's a small difference related to the version of clang-format. Nothing is ever easy 😞

[colinleach]

Better!

I installed the clang-format extension in VS Code, and that seemed to fix the problems.

Could be worse. I first ran a C compiler from 5¼" floppy disks (8086 processor, 640k RAM). That puts 2025 in perspective!
