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.

# What are variadic functions?

A **variadic function** is one which accepts a variable number of input arguments. We can write functions that are variadic in C. Sometimes this may be useful. For example, the `printf` function which, as we've already seen, can accept a variable number of input arguments.

Here's an example of a variadic function `mean` that computes the average of a variable-sized list of numbers. The ellipses (`...`) in the parameter list indicate that the function can take any number of arguments. The ellipses always appear at the end, and must be preceded by a named parameter (`count` in our case)  to store the number of arguments passed to the function when it is called.
