<p><span id="description" class="sugar_field">C Programming is still a very valuable skill - and it’s also surprisingly easy to pick up. Don't be intimidated by C's reputation as scary - we think this course makes it easy as pie! What's Covered: Conditional Constructs: If/else and case statements have a surprising number of little details to be aware of. Conditions, and working with relational and logical operators. Short-circuiting and the order of evaluation. Loops: For loops, while and do-while loops, break and continue. Again, lots of little details to get right. Data Types and Bit Manipulation Operations, again full of little gotchas that interviewers and professors love to test. Pointers: Memory layout of pointers and variables, pointer arithmetic, arrays, pointers to pointers, pointers to structures, argument passing to functions, pointer reassignment and modification - complete with visuals to help you conceptualize how things work.Strings: Strings, Character pointers, character arrays, null termination of strings, string. The function implementations with detailed explanations. Structs and Unions: These seem almost archaic in an Object-Oriented world, but worth knowing, especially in order to nail linked list problems. Linked lists: Visualization, traversal, creating or deleting nodes, sorted merge, reversing a linked list and many problems and solutions, doubly linked lists. IO: Both console and file IO, Enums, typedefs, and macros.</span></p> <h2><span class="sugar_field">Style and Approach</span></h2> <p><span class="sugar_field"><span id="trade_selling_points_c" class="sugar_field">The course assumes that the student has a way to write and run C programs. This could include gcc on Mac or Unix, or Visual Studio on Windows.</span></span></p>
