This course continues the study of the C programming language using the C23 standard. The core language features covered in this course include functions, arrays, strings, pointers, dynamic memory
allocation, library functions, structures, and file I/O. Programming techniques covered by this course
include modularity, top-down design, documentation, debugging, and testing. Lab exercises throughout the course test and reinforce understanding of the concepts.
Cumulative graded assessments available for group training.
