Course Description
This Getting Started with C course introduces you to the programming environment used for the language – Code::Blocks. Code::Blocks is an integrated development environment (IDE) that provides both a text editor for writing C programs and a compiler for running them. Code::Blocks has sections for managing projects, entering programs, running programs, viewing output, and viewing coding errors. We’ll dive deep into each of these sections, going over how to get the most from the Code::Blocks UI.
These lessons will also go over input and output in C—how to use the printf function to display data on the screen, and how the scanf function retrieves data from the user and stores it in a program. These are functions every student should know before getting started on their programming journey.
