Course Overview
This C Programming course is designed to teach the fundamentals of C, one of the most popular and efficient programming languages. You will learn C syntax, control structures, functions, arrays, pointers, file handling, and advanced topics such as dynamic memory allocation and data structures. By the end of the course, you will have the skills needed to write efficient, high-performance programs in C.
Course Modules
Introduction to C Programming
- Overview of C: Introduction to C, history, features, and uses of C programming.
- Setting Up the Environment: Installing GCC compiler and setting up IDEs like Code::Blocks or Dev C++.
- Basic C Syntax: Understanding structure of C programs, header files, the main function, and writing your first program.
- Data Types & Variables: Basic data types in C (int, char, float, double), variables, constants, and type conversions.
- Input/Output in C: Using printf and scanf for displaying output and receiving input from the user.
Control Flow Statements
- Conditional Statements: if, else, if-else, and nested if statements.
- Switch Case: Using switch-case for multi-way branching.
- Loops: for, while, and do-while loops for iteration and controlling the flow of execution.
- Jump Statements: break, continue, and return statements.
Functions in C
- Defining Functions: Function syntax, parameters, and return types.
- Function Types: Standard functions, user-defined functions, and library functions.
- Function Calling: Function call by value, and passing arguments to functions.
- Recursive Functions: Basics of recursion, writing and understanding recursive functions.
Arrays and Strings
- Arrays in C: Declaring arrays, initializing arrays, and accessing array elements.
- Multi-Dimensional Arrays: Two-dimensional arrays and higher-dimensional arrays.
- Strings in C: Working with strings using character arrays, functions like strlen(), strcpy(), strcat(), strcmp().
Pointers
- Introduction to Pointers: What are pointers? How to declare and use pointers in C.
- Pointer Arithmetic: Pointer increment, decrement, and pointer-to-pointer.
- Dynamic Memory Allocation: malloc, calloc, realloc, and free functions for dynamic memory management.
- Function Pointers: Using pointers to functions and understanding function pointers.
Structures and Unions
- Structures: Defining and using structures to store data.
- Accessing Structure Members: Accessing structure members, nested structures, and array of structures.
- Unions: What are unions? How they differ from structures, and when to use them.
- Enums: Understanding enumerated data types in C.
File Handling
- File Operations: Opening, closing, reading, and writing files using standard C functions.
- Text Files vs Binary Files: Understanding the difference between text files and binary files.
- File Pointers: Using file pointers to manage files.
- File Error Handling: Handling file errors with functions like feof(), ferror(), etc.
Advanced C Concepts
- Dynamic Memory Allocation: Using malloc, calloc, realloc, and free for memory management.
- Bitwise Operators: Working with bitwise operators for low-level programming.
- Linked Lists: Introduction to linked lists, and understanding the creation of singly and doubly linked lists.
- Sorting and Searching Algorithms: Implementing common algorithms such as bubble sort, selection sort, quicksort, and binary search.
