Features: The book is divided into 11 chapters, covering topics such as: ABC of Programming, Data Types, Operators and Expressions, Simple C Programming, Program Control Structures, Functions, Arrays, Pointers, Structures and Unions, Advanced Applications of Functions, File Operations, and Common Errors and Solutions in C Programming. The final chapter, "Common Errors and Solutions in C Programming," is truly the highlight of the book. The Afterword reflects the author's personal experiences and insights gained from years of programming, hoping to resonate with readers who feel, "After searching for her in countless places, I suddenly turn and find her in the dimly lit corners." The book emphasizes readability and usability. Each chapter begins with key content terms and difficulty hints to guide readers, and ends with a chapter summary to help them organize their thoughts and form a clear logical structure. Typical examples offer multiple solutions, progressing from simple to complex, to reinforce knowledge points, algorithms, programming methods, and techniques. The book also incorporates software engineering knowledge such as program testing, debugging and error handling, software robustness and code style, as well as structured and modular programming methods. Exercises are designed to reinforce basic knowledge, featuring a variety of types including short-answer questions, multiple-choice questions, writing program output, program debugging, program filling, and programming problems—all common question types in the National Computer Rank Examination Level 2. The appendix provides a list of practical learning resources. This book can be used as a teaching material for C language across various disciplines in higher education or as a self-study reference for students. We also provide comprehensive supplementary teaching and learning information services for readers. This is a fun and practical university-level C language textbook suitable as a public course textbook for universities and as a reference for the National Computer Rank Examination.
