C Programming Complete Beginner Guide (30

Pages)

Introduction to C

C is a powerful low-level programming language used for system programming, embedded


systems, and performance-critical applications.
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
printf("Hello World");
return 0;
}
Variables & Data Types

Variables store data. Common types include int, float, char.


int a=10;
float b=5.5;
char c='A';
Input and Output

Use printf for output and scanf for input.


int x;
scanf("%d",&x);
printf("%d",x);
Operators

Operators perform operations like +, -, *, /.


int sum = 5 + 3;
If-Else Statements

Conditional execution.
if(x>0){ printf("Positive"); } else { printf("Negative"); }
Switch Case

Alternative to if-else.
switch(x){ case 1: printf("One"); break; }
Loops - For

Used for repeating tasks.


for(int i=0;i<5;i++){ printf("%d",i); }
Loops - While

Repeats while condition is true.


while(x>0){ x--; }
Loops - Do While

Executes at least once.


do{ x--; }while(x>0);
Functions

Functions reuse code.


int add(int a,int b){ return a+b; }
Arrays

Store multiple values.


int arr[5]={1,2,3,4,5};
Strings

Character arrays.
char str[]="Hello";
Pointers

Store memory addresses.


int a=10;
int *p=&a;
Pointer Arithmetic

Operations on pointers.
p++;
Dynamic Memory

Allocate memory using malloc.


int *p = malloc(sizeof(int));
Structures

Group variables.
struct student{ int id; };
Unions

Share memory.
union data{ int i; float f; };
File Handling

Read/write files.
FILE *f = fopen("[Link]","r");
Command Line Args

Arguments from terminal.


int main(int argc, char *argv[]){}
Recursion

Function calling itself.


int fact(int n){ if(n==0) return 1; return n*fact(n-1);}
Preprocessor

Macros and includes.


#define PI 3.14
Bitwise Operators

Operate on bits.
int x = 5 & 3;
Enums

Named constants.
enum day{MON,TUE};
Typedef

Rename types.
typedef int num;
Storage Classes

auto, static, extern.


static int x;
Error Handling

Basic checks.
if(ptr==NULL){ printf("Error"); }
Makefiles

Build automation.
gcc main.c -o app
Debugging

Using printf or gdb.


printf("Debug");
Mini Project

Simple calculator.
int main(){ int a,b; scanf("%d%d",&a,&b); printf("%d",a+b);}
Next Steps

Practice and build projects.
