Course content

2 sections31 lectures2h 35m total length
  • Section Intro0:57
  • Introduction2:39

    Learn the fundamentals of C programming from scratch with practical exercises and quizzes. Master conditional statements, loops, functions, arrays, pointers, and dynamic memory allocation for real-time projects.

  • Intro to Embedded C
  • Download and Install C Editor and Compiler9:05

    Download and install notepad plus plus and the gcc compiler (mingw-w64), configure the system path, write C code, compile with gcc, and run the program to verify the setup.

  • Write and Compile C Codes in your browser3:54

    Learn to write and compile C in your browser with online gdb, run hello world, and manage multi-file projects; sign in options and classroom submission for homework.

  • Introduction to C Programming Basics
  • Download and Install Visual Studio Code To run C programs15:27

    learn to download and install Visual Studio Code, enable C and C++ support with the Microsoft C/C++ extension, install MinGW-w64 gcc, set the environment path, and run a C program.

  • Write Your First C Code and Compile it11:32

    Learn the basic structure of C programs, focusing on the main function, libraries, and functions; use include directives, comments, and printf, and compile with gcc.

  • Comments in C4:25

    Discover how comments in C serve as documentation, using single line // and multi-line /* */ comments to clarify code, enable compilation with GCC, and aid debugging.

  • Setting Up and Writing Your First C Program
  • Strings and Escape characters in C8:02

    Explain strings in C, including string literals, escape sequences like backslash, newline, tab, and quotes, and how printf prints these strings using stdio.h.

  • Variables in C9:49

    Define variables in C as memory-held data using primitive types, including floating types (float, double) and decimal types (char, int); initialize to avoid garbage values and understand compiler-based size differences.

  • Rules in naming variable in C6:24

    Learn the rules for naming variables in C, including allowed characters (letters, digits, underscore), starting with a letter or underscore, avoiding spaces, commas, reserved words, and other special symbols.

  • Working with Strings, Variables, and Naming Rules in C
  • Printing Variables with Printf in C9:53

    Learn how printf prints variables inside strings using format specifiers such as %d, with x = 10 and y = 15. Practice printing multiple variables and use new line escapes.

  • Reading Input from User in C6:57

    Learn to read integer input from the user with scanf from the stdio library, storing it in a variable and printing the value with printf.
