Zig – brain

Chapter	Title	Description
1	Part 1. Introduction and Setup	Zig is a programming language for writing fast, small, reliable programs.
2	Part 2. Zig Language Fundamentals	A program stores values so it can use them later. In Zig, you store values with two main keywords:
3	Part 3. Control Flow	Programs need to make choices.
4	Part 4. Functions	Functions are reusable blocks of code.
5	Part 5. Error Handling	Most programming languages need a way to handle failure.
6	Part 6. Pointers and Memory	Memory is where a program keeps its data while it runs.
7	Part 7. Arrays, Slices, and Strings	An array is a group of values stored next to each other.
8	Part 8. Structs, Enums, and Unions	A struct is a type that groups several values together.
9	Part 9. Optionals and Advanced Types	An optional type is a type that can hold either a value or no value.
10	Part 10. Compile-Time Programming	comptime means “compile time.”
11	Part 11. Zig Builtins	Zig has special built-in functions whose names start with @.
12	Part 12. Allocators and Memory Management	Memory is one of the most important ideas in Zig.
13	Part 13. Collections and Data Structures	An ArrayList is one of the most important data structures in Zig.
14	Part 14. The Standard Library	std is Zig’s standard library.
15	Part 15. Build System and Tooling	Zig has a built-in build system.
16	Part 16. Testing and Debugging	Zig has a built-in test system. You do not need a separate testing library to start writing tests.
17	Part 17. Interfacing with C	Zig works unusually well with C because it treats C as a first-class part of systems programming.
18	Part 18. Concurrency and Async	A thread is a separate path of execution inside one program.
19	Part 19. Systems Programming	A memory mapped file is a file that the operating system places into your program’s address space.
20	Part 20. Performance and Optimization	Performance is one of the main reasons people choose Zig.
21	Part 21. Advanced Zig	Zig has a formatting system built into the standard library. You have already used it many times through std.debug.print.
22	Part 22. Cross-Platform Development	Windows is one of Zig’s main supported platforms. You can write Zig programs on Windows, build Windows executables, call Windows system APIs, link with C libraries, and…
23	Part 23. Real Projects	In this project, we will build a small command-line calculator.
24	Part 24. Reading and Contributing to Zig	The Zig compiler is not only a compiler for the Zig language. It is also the center of the Zig toolchain.
