This comprehensive course covers the fundamentals and advanced concepts of C programming to build a solid foundation for your programming journey. You’ll learn about essential topics like data types, variables, constants, and C statements, along with deeper explorations of control flow in C, including for loops and conditional statements in C. You’ll also learn about C functions, scope of variables, function arguments, and work with arrays, strings, and pointers in C.

You’ll gain hands-on experience with dynamic memory allocation, stack vs. heap, C standard library, and advanced topics such as binary files, input and output streams, and header files. The course also teaches compiling in C, linking in C, and debugging with tools like GNU debugger (GDB) and gprof for code profiling. By mastering these concepts, you’ll confidently program in C and optimize your code using gcc optimization flags.

Structures are another way of grouping together different types of data, into one named variable. Unlike arrays, in which all elements have to be of the same type, in structures, we can store elements of any combination of data types we want. Structures can even contain other structures.

To use a structure in C, we first need to define its data type. Here is an example of what a definition looks like:

Learn about C structures that allow storing values of different data types which was not possible with arrays.
