Explore reading function bodies in embedded C, implementing factorial and a largest-and-smallest program. Learn scanning input, using for loops, and updating results with comparisons.
Functions returning values via pointers11:41
Learn to return multiple values in embedded C by passing variable addresses to functions via pointers. Update results in place for operations like multiplication and division without returning values.
Global Variables and usage with functions13:16
Compare global and local variables in C, see how globals interact with functions and arguments, and learn why minimizing globals is best for larger embedded programs.
Passing Array's to functions6:12
Learn how to pass an array to a function and modify its elements by multiplying by two, using a simple C example with array indexing.
Passing Char array (strings) to Functions15:37

Description

Embedded C Programming – Crash Course

If you are learning embedded systems and feel stuck because of C programming basics, this course is designed for you.

This is a focused crash course on C programming tailored specifically for embedded systems learners. It is not a full-length academic C course. Instead, it concentrates only on the concepts that are most frequently used in microcontroller programming.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

Understand core C programming fundamentals
Write structured C programs confidently
Use variables and data types effectively
Apply operators and conditional statements
Work with loops and arrays
Understand and use pointers
Write and call functions
Use preprocessor directives correctly

This course is practical and hands-on. The goal is to help you start coding quickly rather than spending hours on theory.

You will write your first C program within the first few lessons.

What You Will Learn

Introduction to C programming
Data types and variable usage in embedded systems
Operators and expressions
Conditional statements (if, if-else, switch-case)
Loops (for, while)
Arrays and their use in embedded systems
Integer and text arrays
Converting integers to strings
Pointers and their importance in embedded programming
Functions and modular coding
Preprocessor directives and macros

Who This Course Is For

Embedded systems beginners
Microcontroller learners
Students working with 8051, AVR, Arduino or similar platforms
Anyone who wants a quick and structured revision of C for embedded development

Who This Course Is Not For

Advanced C developers
Learners seeking deep computer science theory
