do you memorize library names?

Starch · 03-25-2005, 11:26 AM

This is a very silly question but, there are so many library names when programming, I memorized 2 or 3. Especially people that don't use IDE's that set the library's for you. Do you memorize all the library's or is there an easier way for createing Makefile's and compiling?[in C++/C/ASM etc..]

Thanks in advance!

I'm not really a *nix programmer, but I slowly memorize libraries and functions and prototypes over time. If I cant remember it, I look up. Since I dont like looking it up, I tend to try to memorize it for next time

Its pretty obvious that the more you use something the more you'll remember how to use it. I dont think too many programmers would go out of their way to memorize a library they have never used, if thats your question.
