In this course, you will learn advanced programming techniques in C. This course is perfect for you if you have prior knowledge of programming concepts, like data types, variables, loops, conditional statements, and functions in C.
You will start by covering the most common secondary data types including: pointers, arrays, strings, structures, and enums. You will then learn some more advanced concepts around functions such as function pointers, typecasting, bitwise operators, and bit fields.
In the latter half of the course, you will dive deep into recursion, memory allocation, and debugging programs. Overall, this is your all-in-one guide to programming in C.
