    Intermediate C programming

    Hey Guys
    I have just finished the C programming language book and I rely want to expand my knowledge on C so I can create Better and more exiting real world programs please i don't know where to go to from here I tried looking at projects on source forge but i don't even understand the functions and the header files used in some because it is not well commented and also if there is a tutorial i can use to learn header files i will be very much appreciate it.
    Thanks

    For header files, start here -> FAQ > Multiple source files for one program (C++ example) - Cprogramming.com

    For exercises, just google "programming contests", and you'll find many sites with 1000's of problems (for all skill levels) to solve, which will really exercise your skills.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    I wrote Basic Algorithms for exactly this situation. It's meant to be a second book of C, the book to read once you've worked through a primer.

    Salem once suggested I get the book "C Unleashed" - Now I recommend it.
    Fact - Beethoven wrote his first symphony in C

    Yes, C Unleashed is very similar. The main difference is that it was written by a group of people, all of whom contributed one chapter or so.

    Have you gone through the entire reference and done the exercises? Header files are explained in section 4.5 of K&R2.
