Description
This book equips you with the knowledge of fundamentals of C, a powerful and versatile programming language. It extensively explores the building blocks of computers, software, and algorithms, helping the readers gain a comprehensive understanding of how data is manipulated and solutions are designed.
The readers will learn more about fundamental data types like integers, floats, and characters, master operators and expressions for manipulating data efficiently. We will explore control flow statements like if and for to write structured and logical code, and unlock the power of loops for repetitive tasks. As the book progresses, we will conquer advanced topics like recursion, user-defined functions, dynamic memory allocation, expanding coding skills and tackling complex problems with ease. This book guarantees knowledge beyond merely learning concept, helping you to acquire expertise required for future job roles.
Why C?
Several compelling reasons why learning the C programming language forms an essential foundation for anyone aspiring to become a proficient programmer or delve into the world of software development are given as follows:
Learning other high-level languages directly without learning C is not easy. Many languages such as C++, Java, and Python have derived their syntax from C. So, it is treated as their base language.
It is simple to learn since it writes its programs in English, a commonly used and easy-to-understand language.
The programs you write in C are compiled and executed much faster than in other languages. This is because it does not record garbage values, array index bound checking, run-time type checking, exception handling, and other additional processing overheads. Also, it is a compiler-based language as it uses a compiler to execute its program, and the compiler is faster than the interpreter.
C language combines the advantages of both low-level and high-level languages. It is speedy, like low-level languages that work closely with hardware, and user-friendly (easy to write code), like in high-level languages.
It is portable as its programs can easily be transferred to other computers. It is hardware-independent in nature.
Microcontrollers are run by embedded programs written in C. Robots, computers, and automation all use these microcontrollers. It closely interacts with the hardware.
Due to its speed, many operating systems and system programs are written in C, like UNIX. Also, it is used in developing games owing to its good speed.
What you will learn:
- Understand file handling in C for practical application.
- Analyze time and space complexities for optimized algorithm design.
- Navigate decision-making statements and loop structures seamlessly.
- Demonstrate proficiency in array, string, and pointer manipulation.
