Programming in C: From Basics to Advanced

This module provides participants with the theoretical and technical foundation needed to program effectively in the C programming language. Participants will learn to distinguish between good and poor programming practices and will gain a thorough understanding of C program structures.

Throughout the course, participants will explore various data types and how to convert between them, as well as develop skills in writing clean, logical code with the use of control flow statements. Participants will learn how to interact with users and display relevant information on the screen. The course will also cover different types of memory and introduce best practices for writing memory-efficient code as part of memory management.
