Repo containing the task for the 2nd project of Computer Architecture with Low-Level Programming - parsing ini files

Requirements & Specs: Main goal - C program to parse INI files using only C standard library

Requirements & Specs:

• (3.0) accept two command line parameters in format $ ./program PATH-TO-INI-FILE.ini section.key
• (3.0) print out value under a key in [data] section
• (3.0) assume limits: no. of sections, len of section name, len of key, len of value < 30 (4.5) these limits are not valid, can be any length (no compile-time limit)
• (3.5) detect missing section and print out dedicated messagee, e.g. Failed to find section [data]
• (3.5) detect missing key in a present section, e.g. Failed to find key "key" in section [data]
• (4.0) parse the data into well defined structures, e.g. struct section { ... };
• (4.0) detect invalid identifiers in INI file (section name and keys), i.e. those that contain char other than letters and digits
• (5.0) distinguish types of values between strings and numbers
• (5.0) understand simple expressions given by given command line parameters (+, -, *, / for numbers and + (concatenation) for strings)
• (5.0) expressions with operrands of diff types or invalid operators are invalid
