Programming for Problem-solving with C

This book equips you with the knowledge of fundamentals of C, a powerful and versatile programming language. It extensively explores the building blocks of computers, software, and algorithms, helping the readers gain a comprehensive understanding of how data is manipulated and solutions are designed.

The readers will learn more about fundamental data types like integers, floats, and characters, master operators and expressions for manipulating data efficiently. We will explore control flow statements like if and for to write structured and logical code, and unlock the power of loops for repetitive tasks. As the book progresses, we will conquer advanced topics like recursion, user-defined functions, dynamic memory allocation, expanding coding skills and tackling complex problems with ease.

This book guarantees knowledge beyond merely learning concept, helping you to acquire expertise required for future job roles.
