I am new to C. I have done some programming in machine code so I know the process of coding. I am trying to learn with the book 'C for Dummies' and the LPC1768 PCB and the code on the Mbed site. Is there a list of actual functions etc. for the Mbed? I think I am hindered by slight differences in syntax in the book compared with the Mbed. Maybe not but I would like the functions 'straight from the horses mouth' as it were. Not looking for complicated things yet. Many thanks for any help

In general there are only 30 or so C key commands, To use, but the best source for correct usage is http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary

This ,covers C as well as C++.

But you will do well to look at other peoples code, Especially from MBED uses, because 'it should work' If it has been posted.

Enjoy

Thank you Ceri,

That is just what I wanted. I have tried some 'ready made code'. I have found a couple that didn't work straight off. One was easy because the compiler flagged the problem. The other was not so easy because the code was supposed to default to a particular format of LCD but actually it did not. A bit confusing when you are a novice. Not grumbling though. Mbed is a brilliant idea especially when there are helpful people like yourself out there. Thanks
