Instead of RE-INVENTING the code every time, you can write in the C language to CALL functions and sub programs that perform special functions for you. Countless standard Libraries contain many of the functions that you want and need. But you can develop your own set of libraries for your special needs.
Good luck

The C standard library is a now-standardised collection of header files and library routines used to implement common operations, such as input/output and string handling, in the C programming language. Unlike other languages such as COBOL, Fortran, and PL/I, C does not include builtin keywords for these tasks, so nearly all C programs rely on the standard library to function.

A library is a collection of subprograms used to develop software. Libraries are distinguished from executables in that they are not independent programs; rather, they are "helper" code that provides services to some other independent program. Today the vast majority of the code that executes in a typical application is located in the libraries it uses.
In C++, the standard library is STL (Standard Template Library), containing algorithms, containers, iterators, strings and so forth.

It contains a class or a bunch of functions you can utilize in your program. You have to include it in the project.
