CodeBase: C Programming from Scratch

What Will You Learn?

• C programming equips you with foundational skills essential for software development and computer science. You will learn:
• Basics and Fundamentals: History, features, and structure of C programs, including variables, constants, and data types.
• Operators and Expressions: Arithmetic, relational, logical, and bitwise operators in C.
• Control Structures: Conditional statements (if, switch), loops (for, while, do-while), and jump statements (break, continue, goto).
• Functions: Writing built-in and user-defined functions, including recursion and function parameters.
• Arrays and Strings: Working with one- and two-dimensional arrays, string manipulation using the string.h library.
• Pointers: Understanding memory addresses, pointer arithmetic, pointers to arrays, functions, and structures.
• Dynamic Memory Management: Using malloc(), calloc(), realloc(), and free().
• Structures, Unions, Enumerations: Creating custom data types and managing complex data.
• File Handling: Reading from and writing to text and binary files.
• Preprocessor Directives: Macros, conditional compilation, and command-line arguments.
• You will also gain problem-solving skills through algorithm design, flowcharts, and implementing logic efficiently in C.

Material Includes

• Comprehensive modules covering all above topics step-by-step.
• Practical coding exercises and projects for hands-on experience.
• Usage of standard libraries like math.h, string.h.
• Access to compilers, IDEs, and debugging tools.
• Sample problems for practicing problem-solving and algorithmic thinking.
• Advanced topics like memory management, concurrency, and embedded programming (optional/advanced courses).

Requirements

• Basic understanding of computers and logic (no prior programming required).
• A computer with a C compiler or IDE (such as GCC, Code::Blocks, Dev-C++).
• Willingness to practice coding regularly to build proficiency.

Audience

• Beginners who want to start programming from scratch.
• Computer Science or IT students seeking foundational knowledge.
• Aspiring software developers interested in system programming or embedded systems.
• Programmers wanting to strengthen core programming concepts.
• Anyone preparing for technical interviews or competitive programming.
