Details

In this course, you’ll learn about advanced topics in C to elevate your C knowledge. You’ll start with file handling, since files are the most convenient way of managing data for the wide range of medium-to-large-scale programs. Move on to learning the compilation process of C which includes four main steps: preprocessing, compiling, assembling, and linking. Finally, you’ll explore header files, type conversions and creating strings as arrays of characters.

Result

After completing this course, you’ll be able to work with the advanced topics and features C has to offer: such as file handling, managing code compilations, using preprocessor directives, using strings, header files and type conversions.

Prerequisites

No formal prerequisites. However, some prior knowledge about the topic is highly recommended.

Target audience

Software Developer, Web Developer

Advanced Topics in C: Getting Started with File Handling

  • File handling is an integral part of many medium-to-large-scale

  • programs in C. Files are the most convenient way of managing data
  • for the wide range of programs of this size. You will start this
  • course by considering the advantages of using files in C and the
  • most important functions for file handling, which are fopen() and
  • fclose(). Explore the modes that fopen() can be used with and read
  • and write data to text files. Begin by reading in individual
  • characters with the fgetc() function, whole strings from a file
  • using fgets(), and structured data with the fscanf() function.
  • Discover how to use the r+, a+, and w+ modes, before turning to
  • writing structured data using the fprintf() function. Next, learn
  • how to read and write binary data by leveraging the fread and
  • fwrite functions and the wb and rb modes. Finally, you will perform
  • file seek operations using the functions fseek, ftell, and rewind
  • to control the position your program is operating on in the file
  • stream.

Advanced Topics in C: Managing Code Compilations Using Preprocessor Directives

  • One of the key attractions of C is the low-level control it

  • gives us over its compilation process. Indeed, the C language
  • allows us to control the compilation of a program to a level
  • unmatched by other languages such as Java. You will start this
  • course by learning the compilation process of C which includes four
  • main steps: preprocessing, compiling, assembling, and linking. Once
  • you grasp the output of each step in the compilation process, move
  • on to investigating preprocessor directives. Next, use conditional
  • preprocessor directives including #if, #elseif and #endif. Finally,
  • discover how to issue instructions to the compiler using pragmas,
  • upgrade a warning to a regular error, and convert a warning to an
  • extremely severe fatal error. After completing this course, you'll
  • be able to list the steps for compiling a C program including
  • creating macros with preprocessor directives, control conditional
  • compilation, and use pragmas to alter compiler settings.

Advanced Topics in C: Using Strings, Header Files, & Type Conversions

  • Strings are the most fundamental way of representing text in any

  • programming language. In C, they take the form of character arrays,
  • delimited with a special character. Because of the equivalence
  • between arrays and pointers in C, strings can also be represented
  • using character pointers. Start this course by creating strings as
  • arrays of characters, observing that the end of a string is
  • delimited using the \0 character. Discover how strings are stored
  • in character pointers and iterate over strings with pointer
  • arithmetic and use the strlen(), strcpy(), strcmp() and
  • strcasecmp() functions. Next, learn how to create header files and
  • use the #include preprocessor directive to pull in both system and
  • user-created header files. Explore type conversions and learn about
  • implicit conversions. Finally, explore command line arguments
  • including the use of argc and argv, and how these can be used in
  • your C programs. Upon completion, you'll be able to to work with C
  • strings using character arrays, library functions, and header
  • files, perform type conversions, and use command line arguments in
  • C programs.

Course options

We offer several optional training products to enhance your learning experience. If you are planning to use our training course in preperation for an official exam then whe highly recommend using these optional training products to ensure an optimal learning experience. Sometimes there is only a practice exam or/and practice lab available.

Optional practice exam (trial exam)

To supplement this training course you may add a special practice exam. This practice exam comprises a number of trial exams which are very similar to the real exam, both in terms of form and content. This is the ultimate way to test whether you are ready for the exam. 

Optional practice lab

To supplement this training course you may add a special practice lab. You perform the tasks on real hardware and/or software applicable to your Lab. The labs are fully hosted in our cloud. The only thing you need to use our practice labs is a web browser. In the LiveLab environment you will find exercises which you can start immediatelyThe lab enviromentconsist of complete networks containing for example, clients, servers,etc. This is the ultimate way to gain extensive hands-on experience.
