 The programming challenge this week was pretty fun! I enjoyed writing strcmp and liked the idea of being able to compare lexicographic ordering in a very elegant way (just subtracing ASCII character codes). That turned into a very clean and straightforward solution. The quizzes made me realize that I still need to do some studying up on the pointer types to clear up any confusion I may still have for them.

+For my tip of the week, I want to talk about compiler explorer. As something that is very relevant to programming in general, I think it is useful to know how your code can get optimized or cleaned up in ways. Compiler Explorer (or GodBolt) helps by annotating code and showing your code side-by-side with the compiled output (and lets you even choose the optimization levels!). That makes it possible to understand some optimizations without even understanding how a compiler works.
