From 0 to 1: C Programming - Drill Deep

C Programming is still a very useful skill to have - and this is the course to pick it up!

What you'll learn:

• Write solid, correct and complete C programs
• Advance - quickly and painlessly - to C++, which is a natural successor to C and still widely used
• Ace tests or exams on the C programming language
• Shed their fears about the gotchas and complexities of the C programming language
• Make use of C in those situations where it is still the best tool available

C Programming is still a very valuable skill - and its also surprisingly easy to pick up. Don't be intimidated by C's reputation as scary - we think this course makes it easy as pie!

What's Covered:

• Conditional Constructs: If/else and case statements have a surprising number of little details to be aware of. Conditions, and working with relational and logical operators. Short-circuiting and the order of evaluation
• Loops: For loops, while and do-while loops, break and continue. Again, lots of little details to get right.
• Data Types and Bit Manipulation Operations, again full of little gotchas that interviewers and professors love to test.
• Pointers: Memory layout of pointers and variables, pointer arithmetic, arrays, pointers to pointers, pointers to structures, argument passing to functions, pointer reassignment and modification - complete with visuals to help you conceptualize how things work.
• Strings: Strings, Character pointers, character arrays, null termination of strings, string.h function implementations with detailed explanations.
• Structs and Unions: These seem almost archaic in an Object-Oriented world, but worth knowing, especially in order to nail linked list problems.
• Linked lists: Visualization, traversal, creating or deleting nodes, sorted merge, reversing a linked list and many many problems and solutions, doubly linked lists.
• IO: Both console and file IO
• Enums, typedefs, macros
