Explore the history and core features of C, a portable language developed at AT&T Bell Laboratories by Danny Ritchie. Understand its structure, function-centric extensibility, and the role of header files.
set up your c development environment by installing code blocks or using an online ide, configure the gcc compiler and path, and run a hello world program.
Explore input and output in C by using header files, including studio.h, with #include, and functions like scanf, printf, gets, and puts for formatting and line input.
Master flow control in C programming by studying if and else statements, loops, break, continue, switch, and goto. Apply conditional execution with relational operators through practical examples.
Explore loops introduction and theory, including entry control vs exit control, pretest vs post-test, and the three loop forms: while, for, and do while; practical coding follows in next video.
Explore while, do while, and for loops, showing entry vs post-condition behavior and typical syntax. Practice prints numbers from 1 to n using initialization, condition, and increment/decrement.
Learn how switch cases control flow by selecting among case constants with breaks and an optional default, contrasting with if-else.
Explore four function types in C: no arguments with no return, arguments with no return, no arguments with return, and arguments with return, illustrated by a sum prototype and main.
Explore call by value and call by reference in C programming, including how actual and formal parameters differ, how values or addresses are passed, and common examples like swap functions.
Master recursion by learning how a function calls itself, exploring recursive and tail recursion, and applying a factorial example in recursive and iterative forms.
Explore building C functions to determine voting eligibility by age, including return-type and non-returning variants, with user input and if-else logic.
Learn how arrays store similar data in contiguous memory with zero-based indices. Discover declaring methods, accessing elements by index, and the tradeoffs of fixed size.
Practice one-dimensional arrays by replacing every zero in an input array with five, using a for loop and reading the size and elements from the user.
Master multidimensional arrays, focusing on two-dimensional arrays. Learn their declaration, rows and columns, zero-based indexing, and initialization methods, including declaration with values and loop-based initialization.
Practice counting zeros in a two-dimensional array using nested for loops, with initialization or user input for rows and columns, and print the zero count.
Explore how pointers relate to arrays, treating Num as the starting address, and use ampersand, dereferencing, and pointer arithmetic to access elements.
Master using pointers with functions by passing addresses as arguments, dereferencing to update values without copying, and handling arrays as pointers through a practical sum example.
Learn about static vs dynamic memory allocation, how dynamic memory uses the heap and is accessed via pointers; use malloc, calloc, realloc, and free to manage memory at runtime.
This lecture introduces strings in C as arrays of characters terminated by a null character and covers declaration, initialization, and operations such as read, copy, concatenate, and compare.
Learn how structures group related data of different types in C, define struct types, declare struct variables, and initialize members either via initializer lists or dot notation.
Explore pointers to structures, access structure members with the arrow operator, and pass and return structures in functions using a struct employee example.
Understand how unions allocate memory equal to largest member and share space among types; only one member is accessed at a time, unlike structures, and learn union syntax and differences.
Learn C file input and output with fopen, fprintf, fscanf, and fclose to create and read text and binary files, using a file pointer and open modes.
Learn binary file I/O in C, including opening modes like rb and wb and using fread/fwrite to read and write data such as student names and marks.
Discover the standard libraries of C, including stdio.h and math.h, and learn to use the #include directive and prototypes to access printf, sqrt, and log10.
Explore the standard library in C, covering stdlib.h basics like abort and system, string-to-number conversions (atoi, atof), the swap utility, and time utilities (clock, time, ctime), plus math.h usage.
Create a library management system in C that adds, deletes, updates, and checks the availability of books by id and price through a four-function menu.
learn to implement a C program main menu with a switch to add, delete, edit, or check the availability of books, using a struct for book data.
Implement a delete books function in a C mini project by listing all books, deleting the chosen ID, shifting the array left, and updating the index.
Learn how to update a book by id using the all function, validating the id, and updating name and price before returning to the main menu in the mini project.
Position the cursor using the goto xy function in C and create a dynamic text-based menu. Store and manage books using files, with a GitHub project example.
