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.

The `Makefile` must reside in the same directory as the programs we want to compile and link.


The `Makefile` should contain instructions for compiling and linking.


The `Makefile` is specifically designed for use with the `make` utility.

Which of the following is NOT true for a `Makefile`?



Which of the following is NOT true for a <code>Makefile</code>?

the directory containing the current file

**(Fill in the blank.)** An include directive of the form `#include "myfile.h"` indicates that the header file is present in _________.



(Fill in the blank.) An include directive of the form <code>#include &quot;myfile.h&quot;</code> indicates that the header file is present in _________.

The variable is defined in `myFile.c` but can be used elsewhere.


The variable is used in the `myFile.c` file but is originally defined elsewhere.


If the `extern` keyword appears before a variable declaration in `myHeader.h`,  which is then included in `myFile.c`, it means the following:



If the <code>extern</code> keyword appears before a variable declaration in <code>myHeader.h</code>, which is then included in <code>myFile.c</code>, it means the following:
