    If you are attempting to learn from painfully inadequate online tutorials, YouTube videos, or some book claiming to teach you in a short time, then THROW THEM AWAY!

    Short of taking a course in C Programming from a qualified instructor, you need to study a good book on the C Programming Language, cover to cover, and do all the exercises at the end of each chapter! Choose one of the three listed below:

    C Programming, A Modern Approach, 2nd Edition
    Author: K. N. King

    C Primer Plus, 6th Edition
    Stephen Prata

    C How to Program, 8/e
    Deitel & Deitel

    Studying one of these books, and writing code, you will have a much better understanding of the C Programming language.

    All three are equally good. You could look at some reviews of the books, and look at the links at all three book sites.

    As for other "Sites", get one of the books and concentrate on using the book to learn the language. Ignore other "sites". Then you can move on to to other books on related subjects, such as "Algorithms and Data Structures".

    We are always here if you have specific questions,

    Hello Again ,

    I think I am moving forward a bit about C however there is a problem about that , I can not understand exactly the direction's of book exercises , what should I do ? for instance ;

    - Write calls of printf that display a float variable x in the following formats.
    -exponential notation ; left-justified in a field of size 8 ; one digit after decimal point

    If the book's any good, it should explain how to do that in a preceding chapter; oftentimes a book will show printf format specifiers in a table or something. Search for that table and find the different keywords (exponential, left-justified, digits after decimal point) and use the corresponding format specifier and modifiers.

    Also, it's a good idea to experiment with different format strings to get a good "feel" for what various specifiers and modifiers do.
