C Programming

This hands-on C programming course provides a complete introduction to the ANSI C language, maintaining portability and structured design. Students are introduced to all major language elements including basic data types, flow control, and standard function libraries.

A thorough approach is given to the topics of string and character manipulation, dynamic memory allocation, standard I/O, macro definition, and the C run time library. The course explains the use of aggregate structures, unions, and pointers early on so the students can practice extensively in the hands-on labs.

Structured programming constructs and var-args functions are also covered. Emphasis is given to the processing of command-line arguments and environment variables so students will be able to write flexible, user-friendly programs.

The course also includes coverage of portability tips drawn from experienced programmers working in production environments. Comprehensive hands-on exercises are integrated throughout to reinforce learning and develop real competency.
