Learn to Code with C

The C programming language was invented in the early 1970s, and has since become one of the most popular and widely used general-purpose languages.

C is used by a wide range of programmers, from amateurs working on simple projects at home to industry professionals who write in C for a living. It's been used to program everything from the tiny microcontrollers used in watches and toasters up to huge software systems - most of Linux (and Raspberry Pi OS itself) is written in it. It can give you control over the smallest details of how a processor operates, but is still simple to learn and read.

Learn to code with C on your Raspberry Pi (or any other computer) across twelve in-depth chapters:

• Create variables and perform arithmetic
• Control the flow of your C programs
• Work with for loops and case statements
• Understand and create functions
• Manipulate arrays and strings
• Interpret user input
• and more

This book is an introduction to programming in C for absolute beginners; you don't need any previous programming experience, and a computer with a C compiler is all you need to get started (a Raspberry Pi is a great choice). This second edition has been tested with the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS and features updated, full-colour screenshots.
