About this course

This course teaches C programming to complete beginners. You do not need to know any programming language. You only need to be able to use a browser and a keyboard.

Each hour is a guided lesson that works like a teacher beside you: it tells you what to do, what to type, what output to expect, and why the program works. You write and run every program yourself in a free online compiler, so there is nothing to install.

You will learn output with printf, variables and data types, input with scanf, operators and expressions, decision making with if, else-if, logical operators and switch, and loops with for, while and do-while, followed by problem-solving practice and a mini project.

Every program in the notes has been compiled and run, so the outputs you see are real. Each hour ends with practice tasks and a quiz. Pass the final quiz to earn a certificate that anyone can verify online by scanning its QR code.
