- Introduction
C is a powerful and widely used procedural programming language. It serves as the foundation for many other programming languages and is commonly used in system programming, embedded systems, and low-level development. This repository aims to provide a structured learning path to master C programming concepts and best practices.
To get started with learning C from this repository, you'll need a C compiler installed on your computer. If you don't have one already, you can download GCC (GNU Compiler Collection), which is a popular and widely used C compiler, from the official website: https://gcc.gnu.org/
Once you have GCC installed, you can compile and run C programs using the terminal or command prompt
In the basic_syntax.md file, you'll find an introduction to the basic syntax of the C programming language. This includes understanding how to write comments, statements, and basic program structure.
Learn about variables and data types in C from the variables_and_data_types.md file. Understand the different data types available in C and how to declare and use variables effectively.
***The operators.md file introduces you to various operators in C, such as arithmetic, relational, logical, and bitwise operators. You'll learn how to use these operators to perform operations on variables and data
In the control_flow.md file, you'll learn about control flow statements in C, including if-else, switch-case, and loops. These are essential for writing conditional and looping constructs in your programs.
Functions are a fundamental part of C programming. In the functions.md file, you'll explore how to define and call functions, pass arguments, and return values.
Arrays are used to store multiple elements of the same data type. Learn about arrays in C from the arrays.md file and discover how to work with one-dimensional and multi-dimensional arrays.
Pointers are a powerful feature of C that allows you to work with memory addresses directly. The pointers.md file introduces you to pointers and shows you how to use them effectively.
In the structures.md file, you'll learn about structures, a way to combine different data types into a single entity. Structures allow you to create more complex data structures in C.
C provides basic file handling capabilities to read from and write to files. The file_handling.md file explains how to perform file input and output operations in C.
The dynamic_memory_allocation.md file covers dynamic memory allocation in C using functions like malloc, calloc, and free. Dynamic memory allocation is essential for managing memory efficiently in certain situations.
In the preprocessor_directives.md file, you'll understand preprocessor directives and how they can be used for conditional compilation and macro definitions.
The advanced_topics.md file delves into more advanced C topics, such as function pointers, memory management techniques, and working with external libraries.
