Advanced C Programming Training Class Summary

The C Programming Language was originally created to write the UNIX operating system. It quickly turned into a multi-purpose language used by all types of programmers for a wide variety of applications. C is a small language that can be learned quickly. It is highly-structured and modular, supporting both small and large programs equally well.

This course fills the gap between an introductory course in C and more advanced application programming. Students write many programs, concentrating on data structures and file I/O.

Audience: C programmers who need to advance their coding skills.

Prerequisites: C Programming

Class Length: 3 days

Advanced C Programming Training Class Objectives
  • Describe the basic elements of C.
  • Write C programs using all the major features of the language.
  • Define and use C datatypes.

  • * Control the flow of program execution.
  • * Write modular programs consisting of functions.
  • * Describe the purpose and functioning of a preprocessor.
  • * Define the relationship between arrays and pointers.
