Welcome to The Ultimate C Programming Practice Test!

Exam Syllabus

Fundamentals of C Programming

This chapter covers the foundational elements of C programming, starting with Variable Names, Data Types and Sizes, C Constants, and Declarations. It dives into the essential operators such as Arithmetic Operators, Relational and Logical Operators, Increment and Decrement Operators, and Bitwise Operators. You’ll also explore Type Conversions, helping you grasp how data can be manipulated in C.

Expressions and Control Flow

In this chapter, you’ll explore the decision-making and control flow mechanisms in C. Topics include Assignment Operators and Expressions, Conditional Expressions, and the importance of Precedence and Order of Evaluation. It also covers key control structures such as If then else Statements, Switch Statements, For Loops, While Loops, and the usage of Break, Continue, and Goto and Labels.

Functions and Variable Scope

This chapter dives into the basics of functions and variable management in C. You’ll explore Functions, including those Returning Non-Integers, and learn about External Variables, Scope of Variables, and various types of variables like Static, Register, and Automatic Variables. Additionally, you’ll gain insight into the C Preprocessor concepts like File Inclusion, Macro Substitution, and Conditional Inclusion.

Pointers and Arrays

Pointers are critical in C, and this chapter focuses on mastering them. Topics include Pointers and Addresses, Pointer and Function Arguments, Pointers and Arrays, and Address Arithmetic. You’ll also cover Character Pointers and Functions, Pointers to Pointers, Multidimensional Arrays, and how Pointers differ from Multidimensional Arrays. Command line arguments and Pointers to Functions are also included.

Structures, Unions, and Typedefs

In this chapter, you’ll learn about complex data structures in C. Topics include Structures, Pointer to Structures, Arrays of Structures, and Self-Referential Structures. The chapter also covers C Typedefs, C Unions, and C Bit Fields. Additionally, you’ll touch on Float Datatypes, the Sizeof Keyword, Enums, String Operations, Character Handling, and Error Handling.

Advanced C Features and Memory Management

This chapter explores advanced C features and memory management techniques. It covers Mathematical Functions, General Utilities, Diagnostics, and Variable Argument Lists. You’ll also learn about Static vs Dynamic Memory Allocation, Memory Leak, Dangling Pointers, and Pragma directives. Other topics include Endianness, Recursion, Inline Functions, and handling system-level concepts like Signal Handling, Localization, and Date and Time Functions.
