Thread: Learning C

Does anyone know some good tutorial on the internet for C? Or can someone reccomend me a good book for C. Thank you.

I actually learned C from this site.

Ivor Horton's "Beginning C".

Kernighan & Ritchie "The C Programming Language", this one is full of short, intense "body blows to your brain". Not for the meek -- bring on the geek, or stay home on this one.

Barnes & Nobles has a collection of colorful and small mini-books, on a variety of subjects. The one for C was quite nice. Cheap as anything, too. About $9.00 as I recall (but I don't remember the title to the book, so the facts may be at odds with that). This is a VERY gentle tutorial book, but it also covers a lot of the nuts and bolts of doing things. A sample function/program on almost every page.

I have found some great e-books but when i copy and paste the code that is in the book into my compiler it works. But when i write it by myself it doesnt work. Why is that?

Perhaps you should show us what code your have written?

Hi All,

For anyone wanting to learn C using the WIN32 API have a look at this site, all to do with webcams.

Tutorials and source code included. A good method of learning C.

Regards to all

The OP was expecting a basic tutorial on how to learn C language. He is suppose to be starter of C.

But a good tutorial

I have tried to write this program.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define BOILING 212     /* degrees Fahrenheit */

main(){
      float f_var; double d_var; long double l_d_var;
      int i;

      i = 0;
      printf("Fahrenheit to Centigrade\n");
      while(i <= BOILING){
              l_d_var = 5*(i-32);
              l_d_var = l_d_var/9;
              d_var = l_d_var;
              f_var = l_d_var;
              printf("%d %f %f %lf\n", i,
                      f_var, d_var, l_d_var);
              i = i+1;
      }
      exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define BOILING 212     /* degrees Fahrenheit */

main(){
      int f_var; 
      float d_var; 
      float l_d_var;
      int i;

      i = 1;
      printf("Fahrenheit to Centigrade\n");
      while(i <= BOILING){
              d_var = (i - 32) ;
              d_var = d_var / 9.0;
              f_var = d_var * 5;

              printf("&#37;d %d \n", i, f_var);
              i = i+1;
      }
      getchar();
      exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}

      getchar();
      exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);

Well, i thought it would be better if we learn C using some more standardised code?
I mean like this one:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define BOILING 212     /* degrees Fahrenheit */

int main(){
      int f_var; 
      float d_var; 
      float l_d_var;
      int i;

      i = 1;
      printf("Fahrenheit to Centigrade\n");
      while(i <= BOILING)
      {
              d_var = (i - 32) ;
              d_var = d_var / 9.0;
              f_var = d_var * 5;

              printf("%d %d \n", i, f_var);
              i = i+1;
      }
      getchar();
      return 0;
}

Well, this is just my suggestion though. I'm still learning it too.
Hope u can find some learning C

This is a good tutorial

Also, I did a

Code:

$ wget -H -r --level=1 -k -p http://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/Dave/C/index.html

to save it for offline viewing/learning.
