he Programming with C and Introduction to Data Structures book helps you to master the C programming
language. The book covers the basic model of computation, paradigms of programming, main programming
structures, steps to develop a program, basic C concepts, data types, constants, variables, functions and
placeholders, operators, and operator precedence. It also includes different types of statements in C such as
conditional, iterative, and jump statements. Also, the book explains the types and limitations of arrays along with the
declaration and initialization of a string. Functions, structures, file management, pointers, preprocessors, and data
structures are also described in this book

displaying strings, string input and output functions, creating an array of strings, performing string operations,
and using string manipulation functions
Working with Functions: Functions and program structure in C, location of functions, types of functions in C,
u
parameter passing mechanisms, passing arrays in functions, void and parameter less functions, and recursive
functions
Structures and File Management: Defining a structure, declaring structure variables, initializing structure
u
variables, structures and functions, nested structures, arrays of structures, the typedef statement, defining
files, and the basic operations on files
Pointers and Preprocessors: Declaring a pointer variable, using the address of (&) an operator, initializing a
u
pointer, dereferencing a pointer, performing operations on pointers, pointer to pointer, allocating memory at
runtime, and preprocessor directives such as #define, #include, #if, #elif, #else, #endif, #undef, #ifdef, #ifndef,
and #error
