Question: For this project you will write C code to represent and work with polynomials. The specific implementation details are up to you, but you must use the names and method signatures given in the requirements and you should make efficient use of memory. Your code should build with the --std=c11 -pedantic -Wall flags with gcc with no warnings.

Make aheader file called term.h which defines the following:
A user defined type that represents a term in a polynomial called term_t that contains the following fields:
coefficient: An integer field for the coefficient
var: A character field for the variable (assume the variable is a single character)
exponent: An integer for the exponent
For example: {3, 'x', 2} would represent the term 3x2.

Any forward declarations required for your functions.
make a C file called term.c that defines the following function:
char * term_to_string(const term_t * term) returns a string representation of a term.
Make a header file called polynomial.h which defines the following:
A user defined type that represents a polynomial called poly_t. The polynomial should contain (at a minimum) a pointer to a list of terms and the degree(highest exponent) of the polynomial.
You should make use of the basiclist from class - your struct needs to have a node_t pointer. This will save you a lot of time as well.

Any forward declarations required for your functions.
Make a C file called polynomial.c that defines the following functions:
poly_t * new_polynomial() that allocates memory for a new polynomial.
void print_polynomial(const poly_t * poly) prints a polynomial. You do not need to print the terms in any specific order.
void add_to_polynomial(poly_t * poly, const term_t * term) adds a term to the polynomial.
poly_t * combine_like_terms(const poly_t * poly) returns a new polynomial that is the result of combining the like terms in the parameter polynomial poly.
void delete_polynomial(poly_t ** poly) that frees memory allocated for a polynomial
Complete the provided C program called project.c which reads a set of terms from terms.txt & stores the objects in a basiclist. You should add the items from the basiclist into a polynomial then print it. Then, print the result of combining like terms in the polynomial. Also, print your name at the start & end of your program's output. You can assume that all terms in the polynomial are like terms.
