Overview

This book covers right from basics of C to advanced topics of C. To help readers with the right approach to programming, Chapter 0 of this book talks about the ways to learn programming and underlines the importance of pseudocode, algorithms and fundamentals. This Chapter explains what it takes to write a program in any language using our problem solving skills and how pseudocode or algorithm can be converted into a program using different programming languages - C, C# and QBasic. This chapter also shows how a seemingly perfect algorithm may not work for all possible cases. The power of C is made clear using arrays, functions, structures, unions, pointers, linked lists and many other features. Pointers are given a top priority as it is one of the most complicated topics in C. Linked lists are discussed exclusively in one separate chapter. The contents of the book primarily focus on fundamentals and practical knowledge. A variety of problems given in Exercises at the end of each chapter provide a great way to test one's knowledge. Example C programs are included for every topic. Explanation and output is provided for the programs where deemed necessary. A chapter is dedicated to strings to unravel their mysteries especially when combined with pointers.. Heap, binary trees and FILE I/O are included to make it a comprehensive resource for C & Data Structures. Search, sorting algorithms and hashing are explained with examples. Chapter 14 which is not related to C & Data Structures is included to talk about few good practices in software development.
