This course is prepared to meet the need of the new students who wishes to study the C program . I wish you the best as you take this course .
C program is the base or the fundamental of programming language that will lead you to other programming language.
Codeblocks is one of the IDE's which would be used in this course. It can be downloaded from their website www.codeblocks.org
Build a basic C program by including the header file, using printf, and ending statements with semicolons; discuss comments, the main function, identifiers, keywords, and constant strings.
Explore C syntax basics, including program structure with include, int main, printf, and semicolons; learn about tokens, keywords, identifiers, constants, comments, and whitespace that form valid statements.
Understand that in C programming, a constant, once assigned, cannot be changed; explore how const qualifiers restrict modification and trigger errors when reassigned.
Explore data types as they declare variables and locate memory, showing how integers, characters, and floats use fixed memory sizes. Recognize signed and unsigned chars and their memory use.
Explore the C preprocessor and its role in shaping a program before compilation. Use include directives, the hash symbol, and define to create symbolic constants and control code modifications.
Explore the header file concept, learn how to include it in your C program, and see how libraries and strings integrate into project code.
Explore how storage classes in C determine where a variable resides in memory, its lifetime, and visibility. Learn about auto, register, static, and extern and how they affect default initialization.
Learn about auto storage in C by building a small console program, declaring and using a local variable, and observing how storage affects what gets printed.
Explore register storage in C by constructing a sample program that assigns values to variables, prints the results in order, and terminates statements with semicolons, illustrating initial and updated values.
Demonstrate a C console program that initializes an integer x to five, increments it, and prints the evolving values, illustrating basic storage and variable operations with external storage context.
Learn about operators in C programming, including arithmetic and modulus for calculating remainders, and see how symbols perform subtraction, multiplication, and division in a sample program.
Learn basic arithmetic in C by declaring C and B, starting with C = 21 and B = 10, then add, subtract, multiply, and divide, with float conversion.
Explore C relational and equality operators and how to use if statements to compare values, determine true conditions, and print results.
Demonstrate assigning values to variables in C, using a and b as examples, assign a to b, then update b with plus two, and explain how changing a affects b.
Explore how if statements, switch statements, and nested conditions drive decision making in C, evaluate true or false expressions, and execute code blocks based on numeric comparisons.
Learn how the if statement executes a code block when its condition is true, such as printing 'number is positive' for x > 0 and 'number is negative' otherwise.
Use if, else if, and else in C to compare a student's mark against the 50 pass threshold. Print outcomes based on the condition, with M as the mark.
Explore the fundamentals of C functions, including library and user-defined functions, function declaration and definition, parameter lists, actual parameters, function calls, and return values.
Learn how to implement a function that returns the maximum of two integers, using a header file, a main routine, and value comparisons to display the result.
Explain call by value and call by reference in C, showing how addresses and pointers affect arguments and when a function changes the original variable, with a cube example.
Learn how arrays store multiple values of the same type in a single variable, declare an array with square brackets, and use zero-based indices to access each element.
Learn to read numbers into an array from standard input in C and determine the maximum value using a loop. Understand input, iteration, and selecting the highest number.
Explore array creation in C programming by declaring and initializing an array, understanding its size and elements, and reading values to determine the highest value.
Learn to initialize an array in C, assign each element a value, and update elements with a loop to observe value changes.
Explore how to declare and initialize a two-dimensional array in C, assign values to its elements, and display the grid contents through iteration.
Explore pointers in C by storing a variable’s address in a pointer, printing addresses, and dereferencing to access values, with a simple console program.
Explore how pointers interact with arrays in C by using pointer variables to reference elements, incrementing addresses, and printing values and addresses.
Explore strings as a one-dimensional array of characters in C, learn how they are terminated, count characters, and set up a simple project with a compiler and semicolon rules.
Explore string handling in C, including copying strings, assigning values, and using the main function to work with string data.
The lecture explains printing in c, showing how puts and print statements output strings and how printing appears in different forms, illustrating basic output concepts.
Explore standard input, standard output, and standard error in C programming by feeding data from the keyboard and displaying results on the screen, including handling single characters.
Learn how type casting converts a variable from one data type to another, using integer-to-double conversion for division and averaging, with a practical program example.
Explore typecasting in C by converting an int to double to correctly compute the average, demonstrating division and the resulting mean.
Explore recursion in C programming by examining how a function calls itself, repeats steps, and builds simple console programs to illustrate the concept and its use in problem solving.
define how a variable is a storage area that changes during execution, with examples like int, float, and double, and rules not to start with a digit or use keywords.
Learn memory management in C by using allocation functions, handling dynamic memory, and building a simple program that stores and sums user-entered numbers with proper allocation checks and error handling.
Explore memory management and dynamic memory allocation functions in the library, including allocating memory for data such as names and handling known or unknown sizes.
Learn how to pass values to a C program via the command line, compile and run from a command prompt, and use command line arguments to influence program behavior.
C programming language is a programming language that prepares the student for other programming languages. This course has been well created with sophisticated and simple English that student can easily understand. However, it has practical exercises that makes sure that the student actively engage in the lesson.
Therefore students are advice, to practically write every code so that they can know the errors and the mistakes made when writing a code or building a program.
