Getting started with C – part 3
Getting started with C – part 3
Could you specify what exactly you need in “Getting Started with C – Part 3”?
Are you looking for:
Advanced concepts in C? (e.g., pointers, memory allocation)
Practical coding exercises?
File handling, data structures, or algorithms?
Debugging techniques in C?
Let me know your focus, and I’ll provide the best content!
Great! Let’s continue with Getting Started with C – Part 3. If you’re following along from Part 1 and Part 2, you likely already covered:
-
Part 1: Introduction, setting up a compiler, basic syntax,
main()
,printf()
-
Part 2: Variables, data types, operators, and basic input/output with
scanf()

Part 3: Control Flow in C
In this part, you’ll learn how to control the flow of execution in a C program using:
-
Conditional Statements
-
Loops
-
switch
Statement
1.
Conditional Statements
if
, else if
, and else
Use comparison operators like
==
, !=
, <
, >
, <=
, >=
to form conditions.
2.
Loops
while
Loop
for
Loop
do...while
Loop
3.
switch
Statement
Used when you have multiple values to check for a single variable:
Quick Tips
-
Always break in
switch
cases unless you want fall-through behavior. -
Use
else if
chains for multiple condition checks. -
Prefer
for
loops when the number of iterations is known.
Practice
Try writing a C program that:
-
Takes an integer input from the user
-
Prints whether it’s even or odd
-
Loops until the user inputs
0
Would you like a sample solution or challenge for that?
