🛠️ Development Environment

• Compiler: GCC (MinGW)
• IDE: Visual Studio Code
• Build System: Configured with tasks.json for automated compilation

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• GCC compiler (recommended: MinGW for Windows)
• Visual Studio Code (optional but recommended)
• Basic understanding of C programming concepts

Compilation and Execution

1. Individual File Compilation:

   gcc filename.c -o filename.exe

2. Using VS Code Build Task:

   • Press Ctrl+Shift+P
   • Select "Tasks: Run Build Task"
   • Choose "C/C++: gcc.exe build active file"

3. Execute the Program:

   ./filename.exe

Example Usage

# Compile and run array examples
gcc Arrays.c -o Arrays.exe
./Arrays.exe

# Compile and run string manipulation
gcc Strings.c -o Strings.exe
./Strings.exe
