Fundamentals of the C Language: Arrays, Accepting Input, & Returning Output

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Arrays in C are important data structures that provide a convenient way to access multiple elements of the same data. C arrays are indexed using integers starting from 0 and reside in a contiguous chunk of memory. Arrays are also closely related to pointers, another important building block in the C language. Start this course by learning how to create, populate, and access elements of arrays. Discover how to declare variables of array types, initialize those arrays with data, and get and set the values of elements of arrays. Create multidimensional arrays and work with strings as arrays of characters. Next, learn how to print values using output functions such as printf, putchar, puts, and fprintf. Explore the different format specifiers used to represent data types in printf and how to enumerate the strengths and weaknesses of these different output functions. Finally, learn about accepting user input using library functions such as scanf, gets, fgets, and getchar.
