Hi, today’s post will be very short. Recently I found out that there is a strange bug related to Python version upgrade. My terminal stopped working after I upgraded Python version from 3.10 to 3.11 on Ubuntu 22.04. Not only terminal, but also other preinstalled applications like „Software Updater”. I decided to write a short article about this, first to warn you and second to give you a quick fix.
Using a single point of exit in C (or other programming languages) is often considered good practice because it improves code readability and maintainability, and reduces the likelihood of bugs. In this article, we’ll take a deep dive into this topic to see if it’s really true.
n the world of programming, writing secure and efficient code is a constant challenge, especially when working with low-level languages like C. C provides developers with powerful tools, but with great power comes great responsibility. Among these tools is the strlen function, a staple of string manipulation in C. While seemingly simple and straightforward, improper use of strlen can lead to unexpected behavior, performance issues, and even critical security vulnerabilities. This article explores the potential pitfalls of using strlen, why it’s considered unsafe in certain situations, and how developers can adopt safer practices to protect their applications.
This article is intended for the novice programmer who wants to understand the concept of referencing and dereferencing data in the C programming language. I will try to explain it as simply as possible, using some simple and easy to understand examples. To fully understand the topic, it is worth looking at some introduction to […]
