C Programming Practice Files

Welcome to my collection of C programming practice files. These files demonstrate various C programming concepts and techniques that I've learned throughout my coursework. Each file is a standalone program that focuses on a specific topic or problem.

Introduction

This repository contains practice C programs that I developed during my college coursework. The files cover a wide range of C programming topics such as:

• Basic Syntax and Data Types
• Control Flow (loops, conditionals)
• Functions
• Arrays and Pointers
• Strings
• File I/O
• Dynamic Memory Allocation
• Structures and Unions

Each file is well-documented with comments explaining the logic behind the code.

Programs

Below is a list of the key programs in this repository:

Filename	Description
hello_world.c	Basic program to print "Hello, World!"
calculator.c	Simple calculator performing addition, subtraction, etc.
factorial.c	Program to calculate the factorial of a given number
array_sort.c	Sorting an array of integers using the bubble sort algorithm
pointer_demo.c	Demonstrates the use of pointers in C
file_io.c	Reading from and writing to a file
dynamic_memory.c	Example of dynamic memory allocation with malloc()
struct_example.c	Demonstrates the use of structures in C

Feel free to browse the individual files for more information on each program.

How to Compile and Run

You can compile and run any of these C programs using a C compiler such as gcc. Below are the steps to compile and execute a program:

1. Compiling a Program: Open your terminal and navigate to the folder containing the C file you want to compile. Use the following command to compile:

   gcc filename.c -o output_name

   Example for hello_world.c:

   gcc hello_world.c -o hello_world

2. Running the Program: After compilation, you can run the program using:

   ./output_name

   Example:

   ./hello_world

Learning Resources

Here are some additional resources that helped me in learning C programming:

• Learn C Programming on Programiz
• C Programming Language (K&R Book)
• GeeksforGeeks C Programming

Feel free to explore these resources to deepen your understanding of C.
