COMPLETE C PROGRAMMING TRAINING COURSE DESCRIPTION A hands-on introduction to programming in the ANSI C programming language. The course initially moves at a fast pace in order to spend as much time as possible on the subject of pointers - the area which cause the most bugs in C programs. WHAT WILL YOU LEARN * Write ANSI C programs * Use the C libraries * Debug C programs * Examine existing code and determine its function. COMPLETE C PROGRAMMING TRAINING COURSE DETAILS * Who will benefit: Programmers wishing to learn C. Programmers wishing to learn C++ or Java. * Prerequisites: None, although experience in another high level language would be useful. * Duration 5 days COMPLETE C PROGRAMMING TRAINING COURSE CONTENTS * Getting started The compilation process, comments, main(), statement blocks, printf(). * C data types and operators char, int, float and double, qualifiers, arithmetic and assignment operators, precedence, Associativity. * Basic I/O C libraries, stdin and stdout, getchar(), putchar(), printf() formatting. * Flow control if else, dangling elses, else if, while and for loops. switch statements, the null statement, break, continue and gotos. * Functions Function calls, arguments and return types, function declarations (prototypes), function definitions, scope of variables. * The preprocessor Preprocessor actions, macros, #include. Libraries and their relationship with header files. Conditional compilation. * More data types and operators Logical, bitwise and other operators, type conversion, casting, typedefs and access modifiers. * Arrays Declaring and handling arrays, common gotchas, multidimensional arrays. * Pointers What are pointers? Why they are so important, declaring and using pointers,The three uses of the *,pointer example - scanf, pointers as arguments. * More pointers Golden rules of pointers and arrays, pointers to arrays, pointer arithmetic, arrays of pointers, multiple indirection. * Character/string manipulation Arrays of characters, string definition, working with strings, String library. * Program arguments argc and argv, example uses,char *argv[] versus char ** argv. * Program structure and storage classes Globals (externals), multi source programs, the look of a C program. * Structures Declaration, the . and - operators, unions and bitfields. * Library functions File handling, fopen and fclose, reading from and writing to files, fseek().calloc() and malloc()
