Description

This advanced C language course will allow you to deepen and expand your knowledge in the subject. Through a variety of practical exercises, you will approach the most advanced concepts such as pointers, recursion, major developments in the C11 standard as well as object-oriented programming.

Manipulate pointers, function pointers and libraries integrated into the language

Master recursive data structures and their intrinsic algorithms

Use the development tools associated with the C language

Master object-oriented developments and major additions to the C11 standard

Training program

• Pointers and arrays
  • Reminders about pointers and arrays, differences and commonalities between the two.
  • The three arguments of the main() function, the environment variables.
  • Arrays with multiple indices.
  • Function pointer, array of function pointers.
  • Dynamic allocation identified by pointers.
  • Practical work r nDevelopment of programs using pointers intensively.
