Program
This intensive training will enable you to acquire operational knowhow of the C language. You will study the mechanisms of the C language and their application through numbers of case studies. At the end of the session you will be able to write robust and portable C programs.
Hands-on work
A Personal Computer with UNIX or Windows is available for each participant to immediately apply the new concepts.
PROGRAM
Introduction to UNIX and C programing
- Introduction to C programing. History, the pre-processor, the compiler, the linker and the loader.
- Tracing tools, debugger, profilers and indexing tools.
- C language structure. The basic syntax. First program using printf (hello world).
- The main function. comments. Reserved keywords.
- The C preprocessor. Including headers. Macros and conditional compilation.
- Macros with variable numbers of arguments.
Basic C components and types
- Basic language components. C types, sizeof, cast. Assigning a value.
- Pointers and strings. Incomplete types.
- Formatted Input Output. Using printf and scanf to write to the screen and read from keyboard. Escape sequences.
- Arithmetic and logic. Arithmetic, bitwise, logical and Floating point operators.
- Compound assignment operators.
Flow control
- Selection statements : if/else and switch.
- iteration statements : for, while, do/while
- jump statements : goto, labels, label addressing. Continue and break statements.
Storage classes
- Storage classes : auto, static, extern, register.
- Storage qualifiers : volatile, const, restrict.

The standard C library
- The strings library functions. Signal, raise, kill are used to send or receive signals.
- C library propose a standard interface for file I/O.
- Buffered file access, formatted and unformatted I/O. Constants and variables.
- Non local goto. Using setjmp and longjmp with signals.
- Handling errors : errno, stderr and perror .
