Do you want to get a grip on the basic programming concepts from scratch? Do you feel the need to have a better and enhanced understanding of how it all works?  Well, you've come to the right place. This course outlines data types, control flow, functions, input/output, memory, compilation, debugging and other advanced topics in a comprehensive, yet concise manner.

C is where it all begins and where you should also begin to embark on your programming journey. The incredibly efficient and powerful C language forms the basis for many other languages like C++ and Java. It allows you to interact directly with memory and low-level computer operations, thereby enhancing your programming skills and deepening your understanding. This comprehensive and detailed course will introduce you to all the basic and advanced programming concepts of C language. In addition, it also addresses memory, debugging and parallel programming in C.

Sounds awesome? Let's dive in!

Learn C from Scratch

First: a string argument, Second: a list of variables 

First: a list of variables, Second: a string argument

First: an integer, Second: a string argument 

First: a string argument, Second: destination addresses of relevant locations

What are the two arguments `printf` function takes?

What are the two arguments <code>printf</code> function takes?

To read a single character from the specified stream, and store it at the specified location.

To read and write formatted output to the specified stream.

To read a line from the specified stream, and store it at the specified location.

To return true if we are at the end of the file, and false otherwise.

Why is the <code>fgets</code> function used?

They can be read from and written to faster.

No need to convert between raw bytes and ASCII characters.

Which of the following is NOT true about advantages of binary files over ASCII files?

Which of the following is NOT true about advantages of binary files over ASCII files?

**(True or False)** The `fread` and `fwrite` functions can be used to read and write binary data (raw bytes) from and to binary files.

(True or False) The <code>fread</code> and <code>fwrite</code> functions can be used to read and write binary data (raw bytes) from and to binary files.

```C
fseek(fp, 2 * sizeof(int), SEEK_SET);
```

```C
fseek(fp, -2 * sizeof(int), SEEK_SET);
```

```C
fseek(fp, 2 * sizeof(int), SEEK_CUR);
```

```C
fseek(fp, -2 * sizeof(int), SEEK_CUR);
```

Whats the correct function call if we want to move to a position in a file that's two integers before our current location.
