Ever thought of Learning a Programming Language but instead got stuck with two major Questions:
Which Programming Language to Learn??
Where and How to Learn in the best possible way??
Well, I must say there are dozens of Programming Languages to choose from and it makes a tough question even tougher, But to answer a tough question you must start learning C Language. The reason is that it’s considered the mother of all Programming Languages, because all of the concepts of modern programming languages were taken from this Language only, also being a Programming language that is close to machine-level coding it gives the best and maximum performance to the developer with control over hardware.
Let us discuss some Programs that can help you to learn C Language easily by coding some real-world Programs.
Learn C Language by Coding
Let’s take a look at some Programs that you can develop and focus on Learning the C language.
Hello World Program
Let’s be honest, Every developer has made a Hello World Program when they’re learning a new Programming Language. With a Hello World Program, you can learn how to display Messages to the console for the End User. With a Hello World Program, you can also check whether the Installation of C language is correctly done or not.
Code

Take User Inputs
Taking User Input is the most important step in any Software, and learning to take input from the user in your very own Software Developed with C language will allow you to make your program Dynamic.
Things you’ll learn from this program:
Variables
Handling User Inputs and data types
DataType Conversions
Code
Output
Take Complete string as an Input
One of the main problems with scanf is that it only can take inputs until there’s a Space between the String entered. That’s where the gets() function get into play.
Code
Output
Conditional Statements
If you ever thought about how can a Program know what to do if you did something particular in software, That’s something handled by Conditional Statements. Conditional Statements run based on the inputs given to the program.
Conditional Statements Include two types of Statements:-
If-else Statements
Switch Statement
If-Else Statements
If else statements work based on the inputs provided, it checks whether the input matches a certain condition provided by the developer, If the condition matches with the condition provided then it’ll execute a set of lines of code often named as a block of Code, else the different block of Code will execute which is under the Else Block.
Let’s take a Look at the code, it’ll make everything clear
Code
Output
Switch Statement
Sometimes the program gets very long and slow due to multiple conditions and checking every condition can take up a long time. To tackle this kind of problem the Language Developers came up with Switch Statements to speed up the execution time and fewer lines of Code.
Code
Output
Performing Arithmetic Operations using C Language
In Software Development, performing Artimatic Operations is a very basic task and to perform those tasks and store the output in the desired data type without the loss of Data is very crucial.
Code
Output
Loops in C Programming
A Loop consists of three parts which are mentioned below
Initialization
Condition
Update
Let’s look at some of the loops in C Programming
For Loop
Code
While Loop
While loop is the same as For loop you can consider this as an upgraded version of For loop, Just compare this syntax with for loop.
Code
Output
Do-while loops in C Language
The main difference between Do-while loops and While Loops is that the while loop will run once even if the condition is not satisfied due to the condition being checked at the end of the execution of Do while Loop.
Code
The output of Do While Loop in C Programming
Programs to Practice
Program to get the Factorial of a Number
Output
Fibonacci Series
The Fibonacci series is a series of Numbers developed from adding the previous two numbers. It requires just two numbers it can be even 0 and 1 and it’ll generate Fibonacci Series up to n number.
The output of the Program above
Palindrome or not
A Palindrome number means a number written backward and still being the same.
Output
Program to reverse a String in C Language
Output
Print the Sum of N Input Numbers
Output
Program to find the largest of n Numbers
Output
Arrays
Arrays are a certain type of data structure that can help you to store multiple data within a single variable instead of creating variables for every other data that we acquire from the user.
Arrays are fixed in nature which means when you specify the length of the Array then you cannot change it during the execution of the Program until it’s been modified and compiled to run again.
There are two types of Arrays
1D Array also known as Linear Array
2D Array also known as Matrix
Let’s look at some of the Programs to practice 1D Array
C Program to Insert Elements in an Array
Inserting an Element in an Array is the first step in Developing Array Programs.
Output
Program to Delete an Element from an Array
Output
Pointers
Pointer is a concept in which the program manipulates the memory of the System and produces the desired output as the developer wants. Not all of the Programming Language provides support for Pointers as it lead to memory leaks and system failure if not handled properly.
Code to Practice Pointers
Output
Tough Program
After doing all these programs, let’s code two programs that are more difficult than all the programs listed above.
The two programs are
Store the Inputs of the user in a file and then Print it to the console.
Write a Program to remove all duplicates from an Array of Strings.
Conclusion
In this complete article, we learned different types of programs that we can practice to learn C Programming Language a bit faster and in an efficient way. C Programming language can be a bit tough to learn but by practicing some Programs it can become easy.
Hope this article was helpful to you, to learn C Language try developing a Banking System with the use of a File System, it’ll surely boost the learning of Programming in C.
All of the source code with a Playground is available on our in-browser IDE named Playground, which you can access by clicking here, you can execute the code without the hassle of setting up the IDE and other things, just open up and code.
This article was originally written back when I was starting but as a private article, I was afraid of building in Public but now Let’s do this.
So my Web App which I am rebuilding is available on justaman045.vercel.app you can visit it now also but it’s currently under heavy maintenance and the look and feel will change in about 2 or 3 weeks.
Promotion
Currently, I am also focused on building the Community mentioned below:
Anime Community:- Instagram/lethal_astra
Motivational Theme Page:- Instagram/trying_to_be_consistent
also, I’m currently focused on building my Brand named Otaku Outfits currently it’s in the approval stage on Etsy but once it is live I’ll be sharing it with you all by making sure to subscribe to my Newsletter from the Newsletter tab.
Also, it’ll be helpful if you can just follow this link to Medium and give me a like and follow there too.
Contact
To contact you can join my Discord Server where I intend to keep the community in one place and also serve the community
Discord Link:- https://discord.gg/ZfAKPZvT ( It’s brand new and I’m okay if you help me out on setting up this ).
Thanks for Reading
Happy Hacking
