My plan for making 256bit signed and unsigned integers in C. Please help me understand this concept better.

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/C_Programming

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • msquic

    Cross-platform, C implementation of the IETF QUIC protocol, exposed to C, C++, C# and Rust.

  • The documentation of MS QUIC says it is cross-platform, it should work on Linux, it has a CMake preset for Linux and you can download the prebuilt binary releases for Linux.

  • PoxHash

    A block hashing algorithm with implementations in C, Rust, Go, Nim, Python and JS

  • I am against overusing libraries anyhow. Some people freaking spoil library usage. There's a package on NPM called 'is-odd'. I shrill, and cringe every time I remember this fact. I managed to implement my own hashing algorithm (which is very slow and is not a proper hash algorithm in general but I had fun making it and fun and education was the point) in C, Rust, Go, Nim, Python and JS without using a single non-std library! Hell sometimes I did not even use the STD when I should have. For example, I wrote a function called to_e_notation/toENotation across all these 6 languages (albeit I did not make full use of every languages features, so I kinda cheated) which formats a float into e notation. Did I need to do it? No. But I wanted to. I'm currently writing a PNG decoder/encoder for my new Rust project. I initially wanted to forgo implementing Zlib standard and bind the official implementation myself but I now thing it would be cool if I implemented Zlib myself. Should be educational. Thoughts?

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
