C is a foundational language for a variety of other programming languages, as well as an up-and-coming language for embedded systems. If you’re interested in broadening your knowledge of C, then this course is for you. Join instructor Dan Gookin as he takes a deep dive into data structures, pointers, and other key topics in this essential programming language. Dan digs into a variety of programming concepts such as arrays, structures, characters, and strings. He also goes over pointers—variables that hold a memory location—explaining how to use pointers to manipulate data, do pointer math, and more. He wraps up the course by sharing a few special techniques, including how to solve math puzzles with C.
Topics include:
- Working with arrays
- Building a structure
- Creating an array of structures
- Testing characters
- Working with strings in C
- Using pointers to manipulate data
- Manipulating files
- Using command-line arguments
- Working with time functions
