Skills you will gain

  • Fundamentals of C Programming: Write efficient, non-trivial programs using core C syntax and logic.
  • Data Types & Functions: Work with built-in and custom data types while mastering library and user-defined functions.
  • Control Flow Mastery: Implement decisions and loops using conditionals, switches, and iterative statements.
  • Arrays & Pointers: Solve problems with memory-efficient code using arrays and pointer manipulation.
  • Modular Code Development: Build maintainable, readable programs using modular design best practices.

Course Description


C language is popular for engineering and commercial applications. It allows developers to maintain the structure and portability of a high-level language while having the detailed control, efficiency and speed of an assembly language. C is the leading language used in hardware application and in software compilers, libraries and interpreters. This course gets you started with application development using the C language.

The course begins with programming and tools overview. It introduces the functions, data types, input/output, strings, operators, precedence, and expressions. It also demonstrates the use of control statements, arrays, and pointers for problem solving. Students will receive assignments to write non-trivial programs and learn to create modular programs with efficiency and readability.

This course will benefit individuals who want to learn C programming language but have little or no programming background. The lectures stress the strengths of C providing students with the means of writing efficient, maintainable and portable code. Each instruction is supplemented with programming exercises.
