Advanced C Programming
Overview
This practical 3 day course is designed to give programmers using C a
better understanding of the language. It is targeted at developers who
are using C in their day to day work and wish to increase their knowledge
of the features available. There are exercises throughout the course to
assist understanding of the subjects covered.
Pre-requisites
The syllabus is designed for C programmers who have at least 6 months
experience of coding in ISOC. Attendees should have a good understanding
of aggregate data types (structures/unions/arrays), use of pointers,
dynamic memory allocation using malloc and
free, functions(pass by reference/pass by value).
Audience
Programmers who are using C in their day to day work and wish to increase
their knowledge of the features available.
Student Numbers
The maximum
recommended student to instructor ratio is 12:1
Objectives
By the end of the course, the delegates will be able, with the aid of
course notes to:
· Use advanced library functions
such as qsort and bsearch.
· Program using advanced pointer
techniques.
· Code programs using pointers to
functions.
· Edit Input Messages using IPRSE.
· Process multi-dimensional arrays.
