C programming has long been regarded as the foundation of modern
computing. Despite the emergence of numerous high-level languages,
C remains relevant and indispensable because of its efficiency,
portability, and direct access to system-level operations. It is the
language in which many operating systems, compilers, and embedded
systems are written, and it continues to be a critical skill for students,
educators, researchers, and industry professionals.
The purpose of this book is to provide a structured and accessible
pathway into the world of C programming. It begins with the basics
of syntax and structure, gradually introducing core concepts such as
data types, operators, control flow, functions, arrays, pointers, and
dynamic memory. Advanced topics including file handling, data
structures, and modular programming are also covered to give readers
a comprehensive understanding of the language.
I would like to acknowledge a great deal of people that get helped me
extremely through the entire difficult, challenging, but a rewarding
and interesting path towards some sort of edited book without having
their help and support, none of this work could have been possible. I
owe sincere gratitude to my mentors, colleagues, and students, whose
encouragement and insights enriched this work. I also thank my
family for their constant support and patience throughout the writing
process.
I hope it serves not only as a guide to mastering C programming but
also as a foundation for exploring the vast and exciting field of
computer science.
