C Programming Full Course (2025)

Learn C programming from scratch in this comprehensive 6-hour 54-minute course covering everything from basic setup to advanced concepts. Start with VSCode installation and compiler setup for Windows, Mac, and Linux before diving into fundamental programming concepts like variables, format specifiers, and arithmetic operators. Progress through practical projects including a shopping cart program, mad libs game, circle calculator, and compound interest calculator. Master control structures with if statements, switches, and logical operators while building real applications like weight converters and temperature programs. Explore functions, loops, arrays, and pointers through hands-on projects such as a number guessing game, rock paper scissors, banking program, and quiz game. The course concludes with advanced topics including file operations, memory allocation (malloc, calloc, realloc), and a final digital clock project that brings together multiple concepts.
