Strengthen your C programming skills by learning how pointers and advanced function arguments support flexible, memory-aware programs. In this course, you’ll work in a Linux-based C environment as you explore pointer declaration, memory addresses, address and indirection operators, dereferencing, and pointer arithmetic. You’ll also distinguish between double dereferencing, void pointers, and volatile pointers. As you progress, you’ll create variadic functions that process unnamed arguments with argument-handling macros. You’ll then use command-line arguments to accept external input and build more flexible, interactive C programs on Linux. This course is designed for beginners and learners refreshing their C programming knowledge. Its focused, practical progression connects pointer-based memory manipulation with variadic functions and command-line programming. By completing the course, you’ll be able to apply advanced pointer types, process flexible function arguments, and develop Linux-based C programs that respond to command-line input. Enroll to advance from core C concepts to practical techniques for software development, system programming, and academic projects.

Syllabus

  • Working with Pointers in C
    • This module develops learners’ understanding of pointers and memory addressing in C. Learners declare pointer variables, access memory locations, perform pointer arithmetic, and work with advanced pointer types.
  • Variadic Functions and Command-Line Programming
    • This module introduces advanced techniques for creating flexible C programs. Learners process unnamed arguments using variadic functions and use command-line arguments to accept external input in Linux.
