## Introduction 🎯

C is a powerful general-purpose programming language that is widely used for system programming, embedded systems, and software development. This course will guide you through the basics to advanced topics with practical examples.

---

## Why Learn C? 🤔

✅ **Foundation for Other Languages** – Many modern languages like C++, Java, and Python are influenced by C.
✅ **High Performance** – C provides low-level memory manipulation, making it ideal for system programming.
✅ **Portability** – C programs can run on different platforms with minimal changes.
✅ **Used in Industry** – Many operating systems, databases, and game engines are written in C.

## Course Outline 📖

The course is divided into multiple sections, each covering essential topics:

### 🟢 **Beginner Level**

- Introduction to C
- Setting Up the Development Environment
- Variables and Data Types
- Operators and Expressions
- Input/Output Functions (`printf`, `scanf`)
- Control Statements (`if`, `switch-case`)
- Loops (`for`, `while`, `do-while`)

### 🟡 **Intermediate Level**

- Functions and Recursion
- Arrays and Strings
- Pointers and Memory Management
- Structures and Unions
- File Handling

### 🔴 **Advanced Level**

- Dynamic Memory Allocation (`malloc`, `calloc`, `free`)
- Preprocessor Directives (`#define`, `#include`, `#ifdef`)
- Multi-file Programs
- Data Structures (Linked Lists, Stacks, Queues)
- System Programming Basics

---

## Installation 🔧

To write and run C programs, you need a **C compiler** like **GCC**.

### Install GCC (Linux & macOS)

```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install gcc
```

## Install GCC (Windows)

- Download and install MinGW from mingw-w64.org
- Add MinGW to system PATH

## Running C Programs ▶️

After writing a C program, compile and execute it using the following commands:

```
gcc program.c -o program
./program
```

Example:

```
gcc hello.c -o hello
./hello
```
