Understanding Pointers in C

1️⃣ What Is a Pointer? A pointer is a special type of variable that stores the memory address of another variable. 🔑 In simple words: ✏️ Analogy: Think of your house as a variable and its address as a pointer. You can tell someone the address (pointer), and they can find your house (the value). […]

Arrays in C

1️⃣ What Is an Array? An array is a collection of variables of the same type, stored contiguously in memory. Instead of creating individual variables like: You can use an array: ✔️ Arrays make it easy to handle multiple values with a single name. 2️⃣ Why Use Arrays? 3️⃣ Declaring an Array Syntax: Example: 4️⃣ […]

Conditionals in C

1️⃣ What Are Conditionals? Conditionals let your program make decisions.You can tell the program: 👉 “If this condition is true, do something. Otherwise, do something else.” 2️⃣ The if Statement Syntax: 🛠 Example: 3️⃣ The if-else Statement Use else when you want to do something different if the condition is false. Syntax: 🛠 Example: 4️⃣ […]

Loops in C

1️⃣ What Is a Loop? A loop lets your program repeat a block of code multiple times. 💡 For example:👉 Print numbers 1 to 5👉 Keep asking the user for input until they enter 0 Without loops, you’d have to write the same code over and over. 2️⃣ Types of Loops in C Loop Type […]

struct in C

1️⃣ What Is a struct? A struct (structure) in C is a user-defined data type that allows you to group different types of variables under one name. 👉 Think of it as a box that can hold multiple variables of different types. 🔑 Why Use struct? Without struct, if you want to store details of […]

Handling Input Errors in C

The scanf() function returns the number of inputs successfully read. You can use this to check whether the user gave valid input. 🛠 Example: Check for a Valid Integer 🔍 What’s Happening: Step Explanation scanf(“%d”, &age) Reads the user input. result = scanf(…) Stores how many items were successfully read. if (result == 1) If […]

How to Take User Input in C

In C, we use the scanf() function to read input from the user. Just like printf() prints to the screen, scanf() gets data from the keyboard. ✏️ Example: Ask the User for Their Age 🔍 Explanation: Line What It Does int age; Declares a variable age to store an integer. printf(“Enter your age: “); Prints […]

How to Say “Hello, World!” in C

It simply prints the text: ✏️ The Code: 🔍 Explanation: Line What It Does #include <stdio.h> Tells the compiler to include the Standard I/O library (needed for printf). int main() { … } The main function where the program starts running. […]

Introduction to C Programming

C is a general-purpose, procedural programming language developed in the early 1970s by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs. It is often referred to as the “mother of all programming languages” because many modern languages, including C++, Java, and Python, are either directly or indirectly influenced by it. C is known for: C code is compiled, […]
