i'm used to working with python data types, such as lists, tuples, dictionaries, pickles, and so on. will these concepts transfer over to C? if so, please point me to a tutorial or some documentation.
thanks

Wouldn't you rather learn C than Python with C syntax? I can understand what you want from a concept standpoint, but it won't help you that much in learning C, and can potentially hurt you when it comes to learning proper C.
Kampai!
C is a "low" high level language so all of its native data types are the basics, aka int, double, char, ect. To do anything beyond that involves the use of structures , arrays , an other abstract data types such as linked lists and binary trees. Look for prelude's corner under the FAQ .

Such pointless tricks ceased to be interesting or useful when we came down from the trees and started using higher level languages. - Salem
The "concepts" can transfer over, but you'll have to program the data structures yourself
thanks for the replies. that was just the type of info i was looking for andyhunter.
sake,
yes, i would rather learn C than python with C syntax. so what do you do when you have the need for those types of objects? do you know of any books or online docs that discuss high-level techniques for programming in C? so far i've only been reading about low-level syntax details and it's hard to get the big picture about what's really possible.

This is a good place to get started if you aren't sure what's available. You can spend a lot of time learning the data structures listed there.In the end, just about everything is derived from simple stuff: arrays, structures, and pointers. It's how you put them together that gives you linked lists and binary trees and hash tables.
Kampai!
thanks for the link.
