Introduction to C Programming

This course illustrates the basic elements of programming in the C Language. The course uses interactive programming exercises to teach the components of a C program and the syntax of basic C commands. The course provides an overview of C and its history. It introduces the structures and elements that every program must contain, keywords and identifiers are covered, along with the printf( ) function. It describes the use of white space, indents, and comments to document C programs. The course introduces data types used in C programs, arithmetic operators, logical operators, and abbreviation of C statements using cryptic constructs. This course is not written to a specific version.

Introduction to C Programming training covers such topics as:

Getting Started in C

Description
This course illustrates the basic elements of programming in the C Language. The course uses
interactive programming exercises to teach the components of a C program and the syntax of
basic C commands. The course begins with an overview of C and its history, comparing it with
other programming languages. The structures and elements that every program must contain are
introduced, then keywords and identifiers are covered along with the printf( ) function. The use of
white space, indents, and comments to document C programs are also covered. The interactive
constructs, conditional constructs, execution control statements, break, and continue are
explained, demonstrated, and practiced. Data types used in C programs, arithmetic operators,
logical operators, and abbreviation of C statements using cryptic constructs are also introduced.
This course is not written to a specific version.
Audience
This course is designed for beginning or experienced application programmers who want to learn
the C language.
Prerequisites
Basic programming skills and experience writing programs in at least one language, using a text
