COURSE OVERVIEW

Course Overview

ACLM Institute of Professional Studies’ C Training is a 30-hour intermediate-level programme covering the core language features, memory concepts and data structures used in C programming. The course progresses from identifiers, variables and data types to functions, preprocessing, pointers, dynamic memory allocation and linked data structures. Instructor-led online and offline learning is supported by practical demonstrations, exercises, notes and assignments by ACLM.

CURRICULUM

Detailed Course Syllabus

Module	Topics / Lessons
C Foundations: Program Structure, Identifiers and Data Types Establish the fundamentals of C programming and build a clear understanding of how a C program represents information.	Introduction to C Programming — Understand the role of C, the basic structure of a C program and the relationship between source code, compilation and execution. 60 min Identifiers, Variables and Constants — Learn identifier rules, variable declaration and initialisation, and the use of variables in expressions. 60 min Primary Data Types and ASCII — Study char, int, float and void, together with ASCII representation and common uses of character data. 60 min Operators and Basic Expressions — Practise arithmetic, relational, logical and assignment expressions, including the use of braces and square brackets in C syntax. 60 min
Scope, Storage, Qualifiers, Headers and Preprocessing Explore how declarations behave across program regions and how preprocessing and header files support organised C programs.	Variable Scope in C — Differentiate file scope, block scope, function prototype scope and function scope through declarations and examples. 50 min Storage Class Specifiers — Understand extern, static, register and auto, with attention to visibility, lifetime and use within a C program. 50 min Type Qualifiers — Examine const and volatile and identify situations where qualified data declarations are appropriate. 50 min Header Files and Program Organisation — Learn why header files are used, what they commonly contain and how declarations such as function prototypes support modular code. 60 min Preprocessor and Conditional Compilation — Use #if, #elif, #ifdef, #ifndef, #else, #endif and #undef to control compilation and organise alternative code paths. 60 min
Flow Control and Functions Develop structured programs using decisions, repetition and reusable functions.	Branching Statements — Apply if statements, the ternary operator and switch statements to create decision-based program logic. 60 min Looping Statements — Use while, do-while and for loops to repeat operations, and select suitable loops for different conditions. 60 min break and continue — Control loop execution with break and continue while maintaining readable and predictable program flow. 60 min Functions and Prototypes — Define, call and organise functions, and use function prototypes to communicate function interfaces within a program. 60 min
Arrays, Strings and User-Defined Data Types Work with collections of values and composite data representations used in practical C programs.	Arrays and Strings — Declare and access arrays, work with character arrays as strings and apply indexing techniques. 60 min Structures and Unions — Create structure and union types, access their members and compare their approaches to storing related data. 60 min typedef, Enumerations and Bit-Fields — Use typedef to create readable type names, enum to represent named values and bit-fields for compact member representation. 60 min C89 and C99 Structure Features — Review relevant C89 and C99 considerations, including structure members and designated initialisers. 60 min
Pointers and the C Memory Map Build a practical understanding of addresses, indirection and the way program data is represented in memory.	C Memory Map — Study how and where memory is allocated for a program at a conceptual level, including the relationship between program data and execution. 60 min Pointer Fundamentals — Understand pointers, the ampersand address-of operator and the value-at-address operator. 60 min Pointers and Arrays — Relate arrays and pointers, access array elements through addresses and examine why pointer-based access can be efficient. 60 min Pointers with Structures and Unions — Access structure and union members through pointers and apply pointer notation in composite data types. 60 min Void Pointers and Safe Pointer Use — Understand void pointers and practise careful pointer use, including appropriate interpretation of the referenced data. 60 min
Dynamic Memory and Data Structures Apply pointer knowledge to dynamically allocated memory and implement foundational linear data structures.	Dynamic Memory Allocation — Use malloc and calloc to allocate memory, compare their purposes and initialise dynamically created data. 60 min Resizing and Releasing Memory — Use realloc to resize allocated blocks and free to release memory, while considering allocation and deallocation flow. 60 min Linked Lists — Create nodes and implement basic linked-list operations using pointers and dynamic memory. 60 min Circular Linked Lists — Understand circular node relationships and practise traversal and operation logic for a circular linked list. 75 min Queues and Stacks — Implement the basic behaviour of queues and stacks and compare their ordering and operation patterns. 75 min
Integrated Practice, WINAVR Directives and Course Assignment Consolidate the course topics through guided practice and an integrated assignment based on C programming concepts covered in the programme.	WINAVR-Specific Pragma Directives — Review the stated WINAVR-specific pragma context, including storing variables in EEPROM and placing a variable at a particular RAM memory location where applicable. 60 min Integrated C Programming Assignment — Combine functions, user-defined types, pointers, dynamic memory or data structures in a guided ACLM assignment. 60 min Review and Practical Consolidation — Revisit key concepts, discuss common implementation considerations and consolidate learning through practical exercises and instructor guidance. 60 min
