Programming with C

Programming with C: A Practical Approach is designed to help students take their first steps in C programming in a clear structured and practical way. Many programming books either focus too much on theory or jump into advanced topics without building a strong foundation. This book fills that gap by providing a step-by-step learning path starting with the basics of C syntax and gradually moving to advanced topics such as pointers file handling and dynamic memory management.The book is primarily intended for first-year undergraduate students of B.Tech (Computer Science IT and related fields) BCA and B.Sc (Computer Science). It aligns with the syllabi of many Indian universities and technical institutes making it suitable for both classroom learning and self-study.A key feature of the book is its learn-by-doing approach. Each concept is illustrated with simple programs followed by exercises solved problems and viva questions that reinforce understanding. Students are encouraged to type run and modify all programs themselves which develops not only programming skills but also logical thinking and problem-solving abilities.No prior programming experience is required—readers are only expected to have basic computer knowledge logical reasoning and mathematics at the Class XII level. By combining structured learning with practical exercises this book aims to build confidence in programming and prepare students for academic exams lab work and real-world programming tasks.
