C Programming Tutorial

C Programming Tutorial | C is a general-purpose, middle-level, compiler-based, and procedure or function-oriented structured programming language. It was developed by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Laboratories in 1972. The main purpose of developing C was to write operating systems.

The developers of UNIX OS (Including Dennis Ritchie and Stephen C. Johnson) decided to rewrite the system in B languages. In 1978, the C programming language book was published by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie.

Many languages have borrowed syntax/features directly or indirectly from the C language. C++ is nearly a superset of the C programming language. Syntax of many languages like Java, PHP, JavaScript, and other languages is mainly based on C programming.

C Programming Tutorial on Control Flow

C Programming tutorial on Control Flow | The control-flow statements of a language specify the order in which computations are performed.

Conditional control statements:- Here the condition is tested for whether the result is true or false and the action is taken according to these results.

• If-else statement in C
• Programs on if-else in C
• Switch case in C programming
• Programs on switch case in C
• Conditional operator in C

Loop control statements:- The loop control statements are useful to execute a statement or a set of statements for a particular number of times until the condition evaluates to true.

• While loop in C
• Do-while loop in C
• While vs do-while
• For loop in C

Jump Control statements in C:- These statements cause the control to pass to any desired location in the program.

• Break keyword in C
• Continue keyword in C
• break vs exit
• goto in C

C Programming Tutorial on Function

Function:- A function is a block of code that performs a specific task. The C program is made of one or more functions. The function is a small program is used to do a particular task. In C a big program divided into several small functions. Hence C is a function-oriented programming language.

• Introduction to function
• User-defined functions in C
• C Program Using Functions Example

Recursion:- In general, programmers use two approaches to writing repetitive algorithms. One approach uses loops; the other uses recursion. It is a repetitive process in which a function calls itself.

• Recursion in C
• Recursion program examples

Storage class:- It indicates, where the variables would be stored, how long they would exist i.e. their lifetime, what is their scope and what are their default values.

• Storage classes in C 
• Scope of variables

String in C

Strings:- A group of characters is called string. In these tutorials, we will learn about strings, how to initialize, read and display the strings. What are multidimensional strings?

• Read and display the string
• The two-dimensional array of strings
