Programming abstractions in C阅读笔记:p107-p110

《Programming Abstractions In C》学习第46天，p107-p110，3.1小节——“The concept of interface”，总结如下：

一、技术总结

1.client

p108，调用library的program称为client。

2.interface

p108，"To do so, the chapter focuses on the boundary between a library and its clients, which is called interface."。

p108，“In English, the word interface means a common boundry between two distinct entities.”

在C语言中，interface就是一个的“xxx.h”文件，如stdio.h。

3.package

p109，"If you are assigned to develop a libray, part of your job consists of producing a .h file to serve as the library interface and a corresponding .c file that provides the underlying implementation. Those file constitute the package."根据这句话，.a 和 .h和在一起称为package。示例：stdio就是一个package。

4.approach

p110，“The two libraries embody different approaches...”。根据该句，approach指的就是函数，例如:getchar()。

二、英语总结

1."Interfaces are central to a modern treatement of libraries,"一句中treatement什么意思？

答：treatment：n. the way you deal with or behave towards to sb or sth.（对待，处理），“treatment of sth”意为“对sth的处理”，注意介词用的是of。

2.counterpart什么意思？

答：counter(词根contra，"facing, opposite") + part(词根partie，“copy of a person or thing”)。counterpart的意思是“n. a person or thing that has the same purpose as another one”(相对应的东西)。作为对比，opposite含有“相反”之意，corresponding是形容词。

3.an amount of /amounts of语法

答：单独的使用an mount of/amounts of指表示数量，未表面数量的多少，所以，amount前面经常放置用于修饰数量的形容词，例如：enormous，large，regular等。

4.the designer of an interface must exercise special care to get it right一句中exercise什么意思？

答：vt. use sth。所以exerciese care 等同于use caution 或者be careful。
