Programming

THEORY COURSE

• Getting started in C.
• Variables.
• The printf() function.
• Data (int, long, unsigned, char, float, double). Format strings %d, %x, %o, %f, %c.
• Constants.
• The scanf( ) function.
• Arrays (introductory).
• Operators, operators' priority. Casting and types' conversion.
• Strings in general (input - output). Format string %s.
• Function's return value (introductory). The strlen( ) function. 
• Functions getchar( ), getch( ), getche( ), putchar( ).
• True – false. Relational opertors.
• The if and the if-else statements, multiple if, nested if-else. Simple and compound statements. The switch statement.
• Loops: for, while, do-while.
• Nested loops. The special purpose statements break and continue.
• Functions. Simple functions. Functions' argumernts.
• Function's return value. Functions' types. Recursion.
• Addresses. The & operator. Pointers.
• Passing adresses to functions.
• Automatic, global and static variables.
• Arrays. Pointers to arrays. Arrays as arguments of functions
• Strings. Constant strings. String's input: functions gets() and scanf(). String's output: functions puts() and printf() .
• Other strings' functions: strlen(), strcpy(), strcat(), strcmp(), strchr().
• String conversion to int and float: functions atoi(), atol(), atof( ).
• Structures. Simple structures. Data input. Nested structures. Arrays of structures.
