Master the foundational concepts of C from initial syntax to advanced pointer arithmetic and memory structures across 15 structured lessons.
History, key features, Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs, and program execution flow.
Essential sections of a C program from documentation to main() and sub-functions.
Character sets, identifiers, variable scopes (local vs global), and 32 reserved keywords.
Fixed entities during execution: octal, hexadecimal, real, integer, character, and string.
Data types, memory sizes, format specifiers, and data ranges in C.
8 operator categories, bitwise binary operations, and operator precedence table.
Decision making (if, switch-case), looping (while, for, do-while), and jumping (break, continue, goto).
Built-in vs user-defined functions, pass by value vs reference, and recursion.
Scope, lifetime, and memory vs CPU register placement: auto, register, static, extern.
Single and 2D arrays, contiguous memory allocation, matrix handling, and sizing formulas.
Heterogeneous collections with struct, dot operator access, arrays of structs, and nested structs.
Memory addresses, dereference operator (*), memory mapping, and dynamic allocation.
Shared memory allocations, differences from structures, and member overwriting behavior.
Character arrays, null-terminator (\0), I/O operations, and string.h library utilities.
Predefined prototype libraries, inclusion methods (< > vs " "), and 9 standard headers.
