2. Basic Syntax and Structure

 C program structure

 Data types (int, float, char, etc.)

 Variables and constants

 Operators (arithmetic, relational, logical)

3. Control Flow

 Conditional statements (if, else, switch)

 Loops (for, while, do-while)

 Break and continue statements

4. Functions

 Defining and calling functions

 Function parameters and return values

 Scope and lifetime of variables

 Recursion

5. Arrays and Strings

 One-dimensional and multi-dimensional arrays

 String handling (using char arrays)

 Standard string library functions

6. Pointers

 Understanding pointers and memory addresses

 Pointer arithmetic

 Pointers and arrays

 Dynamic memory allocation (malloc, calloc, free)

7. Structures and Unions

 Defining and using structures

 Nested structures

 Unions and their use cases


 Enumerations

8. File I/O

 File operations (opening, reading, writing, closing)

 Working with text and binary files

 Error handling in file operations

9. Preprocessor Directives

 Macros and include guards

 Conditional compilation

 Common preprocessor directives (#define, #include)

10. Advanced Topics

 Function pointers

 Data structures (linked lists, stacks, queues)

 Bit manipulation

 Understanding memory management

11. Debugging and Testing

 Common debugging techniques

 Using debugging tools (GDB)

 Writing test cases

12. Projects and Applications

 Build small projects (e.g., a calculator, to-do list)

 Explore existing open-source projects

 Implement data structures and algorithms

13. Best Practices

 Code organization and style

 Documentation and comments

 Version control (using Git)

14. Resources and Continuous Learning

 Keep practicing coding problems

 Join coding communities and forums

 Stay updated with new developments in C
