What to expect from this course?

To make your job easier, we have provided a lot of executable shortcode snippets to connect theory and practice. Press the RUN button and see the output of the code given below!

#include <stdio.h>
void move(int, char, char, char);
int main() {
int n = 3;
move(n, 'A', 'B', 'C');
}
void move(int n, char sp, char ap, char ep) {
if (n == 1)
printf("Move from %c to %c\n", sp, ep);
else {
move(n - 1, sp, ep, ap);
move(1, sp, ' ', ep);
move(n - 1, ap, sp, ep);
}
}

The code given above solves the Towers of the Hanoi problem through recursion.

📝 Note: Don’t worry if the strange-looking syntax does not make sense to you. We will cover this later.

Not only will you learn the syntax, but you will also get to practice working with it in the same place. You will also work on a lot of interesting applications, and we’ll reveal some interesting parts of C that you might be unaware of.

Aside from detailed explanations of the covered topics, we have quizzes and coding challenges to help you assess your comprehension of the subject matter.

In the end, you’ll understand the best practices for C coding and the various uses of C coding in real-world situations.
