Keywords, Control Flow, and Advanced Concepts

Part 3 of Programming in C explores essential C keywords, control flow structures like if, for, and switch. It also covers storage classes, type qualifiers, and advanced coding examples like calculators and prime checkers. You'll practice common patterns, debug frequent errors, and strengthen your C fundamentals. Ideal for mastering core syntax and logic building.

Notes part 4

condition statements

In C, programs can choose which part of the code to execute based on some condition. This ability is called decision making and the statements used for it are called conditional statements.

Notes part 5

Loops in C programming are used to repeat a block of code until the specified condition is met. It allows programmers to execute a statement or group of statements multiple times without writing the code again and again.
