I guess you should try out the book Let Us C by Kanetkar..Its a wonderful book which made c a lot easier for me and I happily got good marks in it and later in Data Structure.. Practicing programs regularly will help you get a grab of C an I am glad our computer Sir is such a good teacher..

There is a misunderstanding friend
..I was speaking about mine computer sir..He explains every line in a class full of 5 Electrical students and we can ask him the silliest question but he still doesn't mind and clears our doubts..You won't believe that he explains every statement of programs he has done and works out the programs step by step...That's why I said he is good
..I am sorry your Sir is not a good one..Hope your new coaching teacher is a good teacher
..All the best..

hey my friend,don't be afraid about C.I do accept that it is not that easy but a lot of practice can help you.go for Kanithkar's "Let us C".If you still find difficulties then go for the complete reference of Hebbert Schildt.
It will definitely help you.
and more than that just try to write short programs on computer.
Best of luck.

I read your response after responding..Sorry myLot
..I agree with you that Let us C by Kanitkar is very good book..It helped me a lot and trust me friend C isn't that tough..just the basic need to be cleared and the rest is like solving elementary maths-avoid careless mistakes and process in steps
! That's all..Have a nice day!

No No C language language is like mathematics it requires lot of practice if we cant do the basic C how can we programme higher languages so better you should practise well.

hi i don't think c is tough language..i didn't understand why do you feel tough rearding programs or syntax's..i suggest you to read balaguruswamy or ashok kanethkar and practice daily by doing simple program on different concepts..it is essential to learn to c for engineering student...

If you a re new to C, i recommend you read Idiots - C Language for Dummies. It is one of the best books for learning C.
There are so many editors available to write C language but to start with , you can use DOS edit like Turbo C++ for writing and compiling your code. There are ofcourse many Windows based editors available like VC++, Borland C++ , Microsoft C++ and now the latest is C++ .NET. The basic language always remain same with some additions and little modifications on different editors.
There are many online tutorials available to learn C. try programming.com, it is a very good website and has many tutorials.
C is not very difficult and you need to write and run code regularly to learn it fast. Form books, you can only get guides on syntax, its libraries, etc but practically doing it will help you lot in writing code accordingly from requirement specification.
Once you are good in C, then you can move forward to learn C++. C++ is not a nw language but just some add-ons you can say on C language. C++ is completely object-oriented language. C is also object-oriented slightly when we use structs, etc to create instances (same like creating objects in C++)
More you write, debug your code, faster you will learn C

C is my second programming language after Pascal. When I first learnt C, I face a diffculty too. Then, I consult to one friend that's an expert. I realize first I need to understand the structure and syntax of C language. From there, we start to gain more knowledge in C, like how to represent string, pointer, etc. The most important thing to remember is that we try to make as effective algorithm as possible.

If you are finding C tough, and I'm not very surprized, as it is quite a "low level" language meaning that you are much closer to communicating with the machine directly than say Visual Basic.
I have been programming for over 20 years, starting with BASIC (easy for beginners but teaches bad habits and is frustrating to use when you have more experience). C came next (starting at college), and was quite a tricky step, even though I had a very patient teacher. I intend to be using C extensively in the future as I want to get into the world digital electronics and micro-controlers (this is what C is really good for).
I think by far the best place to start when learning about programming is Python. This language has been designed to be easy for beginners and will also please experienced programmers as it allows for far more elegant solutions.
Learn Java only as a career move, as it is very frustrating to use and has a steep learning curve.
Give Python a try, if only as a stepping stone to using C, you will not regret it.

hello,
after reading all the above responses you might have understood that its not as difficult as you thought it is.......and I'd say the same..:-)....you just need to put in the right efforts.
I'd like to add here that you don't concentrate on the syntax more.....in the beginning, LOGIC is what you should try to develop.........once you know to work out a logic to solve a problem....syntax can be learnt easily...and you can write in any language!!!
good luck.....keep practicing...:-)

C was my first time dealing with computer language. I tried hard to understand, practicing, and did some project in order to understand C. I asked my friends how to do this and that until I can 'communicate' with computer with C.
In my second semester, I learnt C++ which was almost the same as C. So, C++ more enjoyable for me because I already took the basic (C) in the previous semester.
Now, I learn Java Programming (one of object oriented programming) and for me Java is tough .

C is not at all tough my friend. You may find some ebooks in net like c book by balagurusami or schild , it will be better if you read balagurusami first then go for any other book. First you please go through the basic things like data-types , variables, keywords etc.. they go for array and string after that you complete function then read pointer, structure union. pointer is the important thing in c, you have to build a strong knowledge in pointer. so start learning c. I am here for you if you will face any kinda problem i will surely solve those.

Hi,
Actually C is a very simple and powerful language.
Through c, u can do anything , even having low level control
to access low level peripherals and all.
For graphics also you can use of C libraries.
Dev++ is a free development environment for C and C++
. U can use that for developing high powerful
applications.
C is also used in embedded programming, for example , mobile phone,
sattelite receiver, washing machine, etc. like electronic devices
is having embedded processors, whose programs are normally written
in C.
Have a nice learning with C,
Enjoy
Sujith
