Introductions What is C? Background Sample Program Components of a C Program Examples Data Types Variables Naming Conventions for C Variables Printing and Initializing Variables Array Examples Compiling and Executing a C Program Functions and Operators Examples of C Functions Functions sum Invoked from main Invoking Functions Elementary Operators The operator= Operators Operators The Conditional Operator Increment and Decrement Examples Increment and Decrement Operators Control Flow Constructs Examples of Expressions if if else while for Endless Loops do while break and continue switch else if The C Preprocessor #define Macros #include Conditional Compilation #ifdef #ifndef Simple I/O Character I/O End of File Simple I/O Examples Simple I/O Redirection I/O with Character Arrays More on Functions General Function Declarations Returning a Value or Not Function Prototypes Arguments and Parameters Organization of C Source Files Extended Example The getline Function The strcmp Function The check Function The atoi Function The average Function Summary Bit Manipulation Defining the Problem Space A Programming Example Bit Wise Operators Bit Manipulation Functions Circular Shifts Strings Fundamental Concepts Aggregate Operations String Functions Higher Dimensional Arrays Array Dimensions An Array as an Argument to a Function String Arrays Separate Compilation Compiling Over Several Files Function Scope File Scope Program Scope Local static register and extern Object Files Libraries The C Loader Header Files Pointers (Part 1) Fundamental Concepts Pointer Operators and Operations Changing an Argument with a Function Call Pointer Arithmetic Array Traversal String Functions with Pointers Pointer Difference Prototypes for String Parameters Relationship Between an Array and a Pointer The Pointer Notation *p++ Pointers (Part 2) Dynamic Storage Allocation - malloc Functions Returning a Pointer Initialization of Pointers gets - a Function Returning a Pointer An Array of Character Pointers Two Dimensional Arrays vs. Array of Pointers Command Line Arguments Pointers to Pointers Practice with Pointers Function Pointers Structures Fundamental Concepts Describing a Structure Creating Structures Operations on Structures Functions Returning Structures Passing Structures to Functions Pointers to Structures Array of Structures Functions Returning a Pointer to a Structure Structure Related Items typedef - New Name for an Existing Type Bit Fields unions Non-Homogeneous Arrays Enumerations File I/O System Calls vs. Library Calls Opening Disk Files fopen I/O Library Functions Copying a File Character Input vs. Line Input scanf printf fclose Servicing Errors - errno.h feof Information About Files The stat Function File Existence Telling Time - time and ctime Telling Time – localtime I/O With Structures A Database Application The menu Function The fwrite Function The create_db Function The fread Function The print_db Function fseek The retrieve_db Function fflush and ftell Useful Library Functions strstr strchr, strrchr system strtok strspn, strcspn Math Functions Character Testing Functions exit and atexit signal memcpy and memset qsort Binary Search – bsearch
