Overview

C is a powerful and efficient language that provides low-level access to computer memory and system resources, making it ideal for systems programming and other applications that require direct hardware manipulation. It is also a popular language for developing application software, particularly in the areas of scientific computing, engineering, and finance.

In terms of popularity and usage, C remains one of the most widely used programming languages in the world, and is a critical component of many modern software systems and applications.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN FROM THIS COURSE:

• Introduction to C: You will learn about the history of the C language, its importance in the computing world, and the basic structure of a C program.
• Data types and variables: You will learn about the different data types in C, including integers, floating-point numbers, characters, and strings, and how to declare and use variables.
• Control flow: You will learn how to use conditional statements (if-else statements), loops (for, while, do-while), and switch statements to control the flow of your program.
• Functions: You will learn about the basics of functions in C, including function declaration and definition, parameter passing, and return types.
• Arrays and pointers: You will learn how to declare and use arrays and pointers in C, including multi-dimensional arrays and pointer arithmetic.
• Strings: You will learn about C-style strings and how to manipulate them using standard library functions.
• Structures and unions: You will learn how to define and use structures and unions in C, including nested structures and bit fields.
• File I/O: You will learn how to read from and write to files in C, including text and binary files.
• Dynamic memory allocation: You will learn how to use dynamic memory allocation functions (malloc, calloc, realloc, free) to allocate and deallocate memory dynamically.
• Advanced topics: Depending on the course, you may also learn about advanced topics in C, such as function pointers, recursion, preprocessor directives, and bitwise operations.
