Learning the C Programming Language as a Classical Musician [14]

Episode 14 — Types (Part 6: Practical Examples) Welcome back! In the last episode, we studied floating-point numbers and how they can be used in C, with particular interest into how the compiler stores their precision. Much has evolved since the introduction of the C Programming Language in the 1970s in the way computers work,Continue reading “Learning the C Programming Language as a Classical Musician [14]”

Episode 13 — Types (Part 5: Practical Examples) Welcome back! Today, we continue our journey through practical examples of types in the C programming language. We dedicated the whole of the last episode to integers, saw how the C compiler handles them, and met the modulo % operator, used to return the remainder of aContinue reading “Learning the C Programming Language as a Classical Musician [13]”

Episode 12 – Types (Part 4: Practical Examples) Welcome back! In the previous episode, we finally managed to look at some practical examples of types in action, starting with arithmetic types. We met Mr. George Boole and his Boolean logic, with the introduction of the Boolean type, which allows us to represent the true andContinue reading “Learning the C Programming Language as a Classical Musician [12]”

Episode 11 – Types (Part 3: Practical Examples) Welcome back! After the struggle that the last two episodes have been, full of theoretical concepts, some of them obscure and even unused in today’s programming, we have finally come to part where I will show you these types in practice. We watched at type classification inContinue reading “Learning the C Programming Language as a Classical Musician [11]”

Episode 10 – Types (Part 2: Compatible & Composite Types) Welcome back! First of all I want to apologise for the complexity of last episode. It was really hard for me as well to put together, and the topic, when faced for the first time, is a true punch in the nose. We are allContinue reading “Learning the C Programming Language as a Classical Musician [10]”
