CommonCore42 - By Ahmad Kailany

Project overview

This repository contains the complete set of exercises and small projects completed for the 42 Common Core curriculum by akailany. Each subfolder groups individual assignments or exercises. The repository is intended as a personal record of learning, solutions, and small test harnesses used to verify behavior.

Key points:

• All Common Core 42 tasks completed by the author are included in this repository.
• Each project folder typically includes a README, source files, and a Makefile or simple build script when applicable.
• Use the project-level README files and Makefiles to build and run individual exercises (e.g., cd && make).

Repository structure

• // — source, tests, and build instructions for each exercise
• README.md — this top-level description and author notes
• Tests and utilities are kept alongside their corresponding exercise directories.

How to use

1. Open a terminal (Linux).
2. Navigate to the exercise you want to inspect: cd /home/akailany/Desktop/Common Core/CommonCore42/
3. Build or run tests per that exercise's README or Makefile (common commands: make, make test, ./run_tests).

Notes

• This repository is primarily educational: code was implemented by the author as part of the Common Core program. AI tools were used only for review, debugging suggestions, and documentation formatting (see AI Usage below).
• For details about a specific exercise, open its folder and read the included README.

AI Usage

AI tools were used in the following capacity for this project:

• Code Review & Debugging: AI was used to help identify potential edge cases and verify function behavior against standard library specifications
• Documentation: AI assisted in formatting and organizing the README structure to meet project requirements
• Learning: AI was consulted to better understand certain standard library function behaviors and memory management concepts

Note: All code implementation was written manually to ensure full understanding of the concepts. AI was used as a supplementary learning tool, not for generating the core function implementations.
