Practical C Programming - Solutions for modern C developers to create efficient and well-structured programs.

C is a popular programming language among developers because of its flexibility and versatility. It is used in a multitude of applications ranging from microcontrollers to operating systems. This book will take you through the fundamental as well as complex C programming concepts using several organized tasks. This book covers all the important building blocks of C necessary for creating real-life applications. Starting with recipes on arrays, strings, user-defined functions, and preprocessing directives, you'll gradually advance to pointers, file handling, concurrency, networking, and inter-process communication. The book then illustrates how to perform a search and arrange data using different sorting techniques, followed by explaining the implementation of data structures such as a stack and queue. You will also discover many interesting programming features such as using graphics for drawing and animation and the use of general-purpose utilities. Finally, you'll get to grips with advanced concepts such as low-level programming, embedded software, IoT, and security in coding, and learn techniques to improve the performance of your code. By the end of this book, you'll have developed a clear understanding of C programming to help you to take your career to the next level.
