Learn C in 2 Days: Crash Course Checklist

DAY 1 - C LANGUAGE FUNDAMENTALS

Setup:

- [ ] Install VS Code or OnlineGDB/Replit

- [ ] Install GCC compiler or use online environment

- [ ] Run your first "Hello, World!" program

Syntax & Basics:

- [ ] Understand C program structure (#include, main, return)

- [ ] Variables and data types (int, char, float, double)

- [ ] Operators (+, -, *, /, %)

- [ ] Input/Output: printf() and scanf()

Control Flow:

- [ ] if, else if, else

- [ ] switch statement

- [ ] Loops: for, while, do...while

Practice Mini Challenges:

- [ ] Write a calculator using switch

- [ ] Check if a number is even or odd

- [ ] Find the sum of first N natural numbers

DAY 2 - FUNCTIONS, ARRAYS, & POINTERS

Functions:

- [ ] Pass arguments and return values

- [ ] Understand local vs global scope

- [ ] Loop through arrays

- [ ] Work with char arrays (strings)

Pointers:

- [ ] Understand * (dereferencing) and & (address-of)

- [ ] Create pointer variables

- [ ] Pass variables by reference to functions

Bonus (Optional):

- [ ] Learn struct for custom data types

Day 2 Mini Challenges:

- [ ] Factorial using a loop or recursion

- [ ] Reverse a string

- [ ] Swap two numbers using pointers

- [ ] Find the largest element in an array

End-of-Day 2 Checkpoint

- [ ] Can write and run a C program on your own
