[C] Is it admitted to post practice problems for review?
Posted by MelloCello7@reddit | learnprogramming | View on Reddit | 7 comments
Hello! I am currently going through K&R wanted to know if it were at all acceptable to post practice problems as I encounter them here? I know learning in isolation can leave you susceptible to bad practice habits that you may be unaware of, and having an experienced eye can make a world of a difference, and the additional support will have an added benefit of community and motivation, but I wanted to ask before I started posting my problem sets that may be of little interest to anyone.
I read through the entire faq just to do my due diligence before asking you all here!

It's clearly in the subreddit rules:
Do not request reviews for, promote, or showcase some app or website you've written. This is a subreddit for learning programming, not a "critique my project" or "advertise my project" subreddit.
Asking for code reviews is ok as long as you follow the relevant policies. In short, link to only your code and be specific about what you want feedback on. Do not include a link to a final product or to a demo in your post.

Yes I did read this part, as I had mentioned I read the entire faq, and though my requests wouldn't technically be against the rules, that doesn't mean people would want to see or help out with my rudimentary coding endeavors. Thats why I wanted to check in with the community before I do, I very much appreciate the confirmation.

i dunno how acceptable what you had in mind will be. but posting code with questions is certainly better than all the career-help, wattabout AI, i'm failing my class, what language to choose posts.

I very much appreciate the response. I just want to become a better programmer with the resources available to me🙏 your collective expertise will be invaluable in that process.

Yes, that's fine.
You will be more likely to get useful feedback if you ask specific questions, rather than just asking for general opinions about big chunks of code.
Even better if you can reduce the code to a minimal, self-contained, runnable example that illustrates the question you want to ask.

I appreciate the thoughtful feedback confirmation! Yes, most of the code I'm working with at this point in K&R are self contained single file executables, no need for a massive github repositories as of yet. I mostly want feedback about structure, style, common practice/more efficient approaches to my core logic or approach that I may be missing, and support from a community of learners as well:)
I probably should browse this sub more just to see what may be more welcome or aggravating

Sorry I can’t really answer your question.
