This application is a compact development environment designed specifically for programming in the C language. It provides essential features such as project management and header file references, making it easier for users to organize and develop their code projects efficiently. Additionally, it supports code execution within the environment, allowing users to test and run their programs directly without needing external compilers or tools.
Targeted primarily at coding enthusiasts and computer science students, the environment includes pre-loaded projects related to data structures. This makes it a valuable learning tool, enabling users to practice and implement various data-structure algorithms within a contained and user-friendly setting. The environment also offers the flexibility to run projects locally or export them to a personal computer for further compilation and execution outside the application.
The environment features a lightweight C standard library that covers commonly used header files and the majority of functions from the C99 standard. It also simplifies development with an easy-to-access header file called ccd.h, streamlining the inclusion process. While supporting some features of C++, such as argument references and basic input/output stream operations like cin and cout, it intentionally omits support for unsafe or complex features like inline assembly for safety reasons, ensuring a more secure coding environment.
Additional functionalities aim to enhance the user experience. The editor offers features like auto-completion, auto-formatting, and long-press documentation access to facilitate efficient coding. The integrated terminal supports standard input and output, and users can open and edit text files with a .txt suffix within their projects, using functions like fopen(). However, support for binary files or other file types in different modes is currently unavailable. The environment also includes a demo project utilizing the ip-api JSON interface for testing purposes, though users are advised to be aware of licensing restrictions and legal considerations when using external APIs.
