Welcome to C for Everyone, Part 1! This course will guide you step by step from basic syntax and data types to control flow, functions, recursion, arrays, and pointers, giving you the skills to write clear, well-structured C programs. In this module, you’ll learn the basics of the C language, explore its history, and write your first programs. You’ll practice compiling, debugging, and formatting code, then complete a first set of programming activities.

In this module, you’ll dive deeper into the structure of C programs by exploring lexical elements, data types, and expressions. You’ll learn how to use operators, declarations, and fundamental types like int, char, and float, and understand how expressions are evaluated. You’ll build confidence in writing clear, well-structured C programs and apply these skills in programming tasks.

In this module, you’ll learn how C programs make decisions and repeat actions through conditional and iterative statements. You’ll explore if, while, and for statements, understand how logical and relational operators control program flow, and discover why goto should be avoided. You’ll also write simple functions, applying these concepts in hands-on coding activities.

In this module, you’ll expand your understanding of functions by exploring prototypes, return statements, and variable scope. You’ll also learn how recursion works through classic examples like factorials and Fibonacci sequences. Finally, you’ll be introduced to arrays and pointers, two of the most powerful features in C.

In this module, you’ll deepen your understanding of how data is stored and accessed in C. You’ll learn to manipulate arrays, simulate call-by-reference, and apply sorting algorithms like bubble sort and merge sort. By the end, you’ll be able to write efficient programs that handle data collections and memory references.

Congratulation! This is the end of the first part of the C for Everyone sequence. You will have an opportunity to assess your learning.
