Do you want to get a grip on the basic programming concepts from scratch? Do you feel the need to have a better and enhanced understanding of how it all works?  Well, you've come to the right place. This course outlines data types, control flow, functions, input/output, memory, compilation, debugging and other advanced topics in a comprehensive, yet concise manner.

C is where it all begins and where you should also begin to embark on your programming journey. The incredibly efficient and powerful C language forms the basis for many other languages like C++ and Java. It allows you to interact directly with memory and low-level computer operations, thereby enhancing your programming skills and deepening your understanding. This comprehensive and detailed course will introduce you to all the basic and advanced programming concepts of C language. In addition, it also addresses memory, debugging and parallel programming in C.

Sounds awesome? Let's dive in!

Learn C from Scratch

What value will be printed as the size of `s`?
```C
int main(void) {
  char s[] = "table";
  printf("s is %ld elements long\n", sizeof(s));
  return 0;
}
```

What value will be printed as the size of <code>s</code>?
<pre><code class="language-C">int main(void) {
 char s[] = &quot;table&quot;;
 printf(&quot;s is %ld elements long\n&quot;, sizeof(s));
 return 0;
}
</code></pre>

What's the correct way to modify the string `x` initialized as
```C
char x[] = "This is a bat and ball"; 
```
so that it's shortened to 
```C
"This is a bat"
  ```

What’s the correct way to modify the string <code>x</code> initialized as
<pre><code class="language-C">char x[] = &quot;This is a bat and ball&quot;; 
</code></pre>
so that it’s shortened to
<pre><code class="language-C">&quot;This is a bat&quot;
</code></pre>

The function `atof` converts a string  into a floating-point number.

The function `sprintf` is used to convert an integer or a floating number to a  string.

The function `atoi` converts a string into an integer

You can simply use the `==` operator to test whether two strings are equal
