I'll just say this. I learned C back in 1986 in college and used this book by K&R, and I still have it (buried somewhere in a box). As a foundation for programming C is a good language to learn. C leads to C++ (begin OOP style programming) which leads to C# and Java which leads to other languages like Python. So if you want to understand how to program at a low level on a Windows or Linux/Unix platform you need to understand C. Unix was built off of C. K&R were part of the team at Bell Labs New Jersey that created Unix and C in the 1970's / 1980's.

[@SanjeevKumar-un3rw]

Thanks a lot for this information 😊

[@theguire]

I know exactly where my Kernighan and Ritchie book is. When I graduated in 1986, I had a good start on my C library which I refined and added to over the years. I did my best work in C. Looking forward to this.

Correct me if I am wrong, but Python is older than both Java and C#

Dr. Chuck got me started programming with his py4e freeCodeCamp course way back. I'm so thrilled to have him again for an accompaniment to learning the C programming language.

[@darkthrongrising5470]

I stumbled across Dr Chuck a few weeks ago arbitrarily when I decided to study C. I began his course and right afterward found this in my feed. I enjoy this course, programming can be very emasculating at times and his relaxed approach helps ease the pressure, its easier to concentrate when you're relaxed. I can tell hes someone who knows what he's talking about and I can also tell he's ran into every pitfall we are about to trip over. I really am enjoying learning C and while only in chapter 2 of the book, I can already see where I'm going to be a better Python/Javascript developer when I'm finished. Thanx everyone who made this possible, this course is life changing.

[@petazeta76]

Hello Dr Charles, thank you again for the course. I want to tell about Guido Hash Map approx. I am developing the Guido approx for this data structure. In theory it is a good option to have double allocations but in practice there should be much more maybe. When trying to get an element that is not in the list then in this case as we will have to go through the array untill there is an empty bucket, and for that to not be a long way it is maybe better add more empties. Just to notice, wondering if K and R implementation option as better choice.

[@victorsilva1246]

is this a newer version of the learn C course from Free Code Camp with Dr. Chuck from a year or two ago?

[@ncmathsadist]

It is a convention in Python to put your "main routien" in a function named main and then call it. It keeps stuff in the main routine from polluting the global frame with unnecessary symbols.

[@Programmar1]

Also, the idiom of calling main() and others in "if __name__ == "__main__"" makes sure that we are caling this directly and not in a module or child process. Without this technique, a child process could spawn more processes and so on in addition to problems if this code is used as a module.

C can be used to build almost anything, including operating systems such as Windows.

[@joaofelipe2060]

Programming languages can build everything, but the complexity is greater when you compare C to another more modern language, because you have to manage more things, like memory allocation. is not the end of the world, and this knowledge can make you understand more complex topics as you go on, because many languages copy the way C does many things. in the end of the day, the road is harder, but can make you learn much more.
