Using Make

Make is a program which can be used to automatically update files which are created in a sequence. For example, if you have a program which creates file_2.txt using file_1.txt, running Make will run the program if file_2.txt is out-of-date compared to file_1.txt (the source file was modified more recently than the one it helps to create). Otherwise, nothing is performed. This can be extended to using more files, and more relationships between multiple files. Though this can appear quite complex, writing Makefiles helps to deal with this complexity in a relatively intuitive way. Thus, it can help with processing data and performing file management tasks.
