Basic C Language Course – Student Edition (English)

Chapter 1: Introduction to C - C is a high-level programming language developed by Dennis Ritchie in


1972. - Used for system programming, developing OS, and applications.

Topics: 1. History of C 2. Features of C 3. Structure of a C Program

Example Program:

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("Hello, World!\n");
return 0;
}

Exercise: 1. Write a C program to display your name.

Chapter 2: Data Types & Variables - Data Types: int, float, char, double - Variables: Storage for data

Example:

int age = 16;


float price = 99.5;
char grade = 'A';

Exercise: 1. Declare variables for name, age, and marks.

Chapter 3: Operators & Expressions - Arithmetic: +, -, *, /, % - Relational: ==, !=, >, <, >=, <= - Logical: &&,
||, !

Example:

int a = 5, b = 10;
printf("Sum = %d", a + b);

Exercise: 1. Write a program to calculate area of a rectangle.

1
Chapter 4: Conditional Statements - if, if-else, nested if, switch-case

Example:

int marks = 85;


if(marks >= 50)
printf("Pass\n");
else
printf("Fail\n");

Exercise: 1. Write a program to check even or odd number.

Chapter 5: Loops - for, while, do-while

Example:

for(int i=1; i<=5; i++)


printf("%d\n", i);

Exercise: 1. Print first 10 natural numbers using while loop.

Chapter 6: Functions - Functions help to divide programs into modules

Example:

int add(int a, int b) {


return a + b;
}

Exercise: 1. Write a function to calculate factorial of a number.

Chapter 7: Arrays - Arrays store multiple values of same type

Example:

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

2
Exercise: 1. Find the sum of all elements in an array.

Chapter 8: Pointers - Pointer stores address of a variable

Example:

int x = 10;
int *p = &x;
printf("%d", *p);

Exercise: 1. Write a program to swap two numbers using pointers.

Chapter 9: Structures & Unions - Structures: store different data types together - Unions: store different
data types in same memory location

Example:

struct Student {
char name[20];
int age;
};

Exercise: 1. Create a structure for Book with title, author, price.

Chapter 10: File Handling (Basics) - fopen(), fclose(), fprintf(), fscanf()

Example:

FILE *fp;
fp = fopen("[Link]", "w");
fprintf(fp, "Hello");
fclose(fp);

Exercise: 1. Write a program to read and write data to a file.

Answer Key (Basic) 1. Hello, World! program prints Hello, World! 2. Variable declaration examples: int age;
float price; char grade; 3. Area of rectangle: area = length * breadth 4. Even/Odd: if(n%2==0) even else odd

3
5. Loops: for/while printing numbers 6. Functions: add, factorial function 7. Arrays: sum using for loop 8.
Pointers: swap using temp or direct pointer arithmetic 9. Structures: struct Book {char title[20]; char
author[20]; float price;}; 10. File: fopen(), fprintf(), fclose() usage
