problem with c

till now i have been studying c language for nearly two months. most of the c function i can understand now. but i still find no improvement in myself. i try to read a lot of book. and searching Internet. but my ability still poor. could anyone help me. how to be strong in c language? step by step. thanks in advanced.

Reading books wouldn't help that much will have to practice these things. If you see a program on a book or any tutorial, try implementing it yourself, rather than just copying and pasting it. It is very important you have hands on experience to learn. When you try implementing yourself you're bound to have error and try resolve and you so and you start accumulating experience and learn more!

Two simple words of advice: Write Code.

We don't learn by reading, we learn by doing.

Also, stick around to this forum and attempt to solve or identify problems that people are having trouble with. Copy and paste the code in your own IDE and try to debug the program.

You learn a lot by reading and writing code.

I guess we should move this thread to general discussion forum perhaps?

As others have said - practice practice practice!

10000 hour rule - Google Search

If you've written tic-tac-toe, then
- make is 2 player
- add better graphics
- add sound
- make it playable over the network.

If you used an array in a simple project, re-write it using a linked list instead.
Study why one was better than the other.

Read everyone else's homework answers on this (and other forums). See if you can spot the bugs.
See if your answers stand up to review by other people. Good or bad, you'll learn a lot either way.

thanks very much for the advice. but i myself seem don know how to start to practice since i don know what program should i write. i have no idea.

How about the next homework assignment posted on the board, which you haven't done yourself?

Not to spoon-feed the poster you understand, just for your own purpose to see if you can do it.
