Hands-On C Programming

Course: 338   Type: Hands-On   Duration: 4 Days
Quick Enrol  

You Will Learn How To

  • Write, compile and execute Standard C programs
  • Make full use of C's powerful structured-programming features
  • Read and write complex data-structure descriptions
  • Access operating system services
  • Develop programs using Standard C library functions

Course Benefits
C is the language for the development of efficient, portable software. Throughout this course, under the guidance of an expert instructor, you use Standard C software development systems for extensive hands-on exercises in writing and executing programs in the C language.

Who Should Attend
Software engineers and application and system programmers working with the C language. Participants should have professional programming experience in either high-level or assembly languages.

Hands-on Training
Throughout this course, hands-on exercises provide extensive skills in C programming, including:
  • Defining and calling functions
  • Using arrays, pointers and structures
  • Allocating memory dynamically
  • Performing loops, decisions and computations
  • Reading input and writing output
