This header is part of the libft project and provides a collection of helper functions to operate on generic arrays, particularly:

• NULL-terminated arrays (e.g., char **)
• Dynamically allocated pointer arrays
• Integer arrays

It includes tools for:

• Getting the size of a pointer array
• Copying and freeing arrays
• Checking sorting order
• Printing integer arrays for debugging

Note

All functions are written to be memory-safe and are suitable for use in projects that require manipulation of dynamically allocated array data.
