Introduction C program structure Identifiers Literal constants Primitive data types Declaring variables Arithmetic expressions Using standard terminal I/O functions Visual C++ integrated development environment Compiler, linker, debugger Fundamental Data Types and Storage Classes Character Types Integer, short, long, unsigned Single and double precision floating point Storage classes: automatic, register, static & external Operators and Expressions Using numeric and relational operators  Mixed operands and type conversion  Logical operators  Bit operations  Operator precedence and associativity  Control Statements        Conditional Statements if statement switch statement Program Loops and Iteration Use of for loop  Use of while loop  Use of do-while loop  Using break and continue  Modular Programming in C Functions and arguments Function prototypes Scope rules Separate compilation and linkage Building your own modules Keeping data structures in separate files Hiding private variables

Arrays Array notation and representation  Manipulating array elements  Using multidimensional arrays Arrays of unknown sizes Structures, Union and Bit Fields Structures  Purpose and usage of structures Declaring structures  Access mechanism of structures Union and Bit Fields union: Components in overlapping memory Bit fields Pointers Concept of pointers  Pointer and address arithmetic Pointer operations and declarations Using pointers as function arguments Dynamic memory allocation Defining and using linked lists  Files Creating and accessing files or Mastering I/O Software tools for C programming Pre-processor Defining and calling macros Utilizing conditional compilation Reading command line arguments The standard C library String handling: strcpy,....  Formatted I/O Math functions: log, sin...  Internationalization (locales) Other standard C functions  Case Study
