What are the important parts of C languages?

Daer All:

I have studied C language for just 2~3 months.
I'd like to know the critical parts of C, focusing on these.

Could anyone has many experiences tell me, please.

Thanks and Regards.

I have no idea what you mean by "critical parts", and neither does the
C language standard, since it doesn't define anything remotely like
this term.
Could anyone has many experiences tell me, please.

Thanks and Regards.


The most critical part of the use of any programming language is
writing correct programs. That is just as true of C as it is of every
other language.

If you have some special meaning in mind for "critical parts", you had
better post again and define that meaning.

I'm sorry for my unclear meaning.
I'd like to know the most important or essentisl portions of C
language, for I could focus on reading these.

Thanks for reply.

Everything. I've been studying it and programming in it for about 5 years
now.
And I'm still far from ideal.

First, please provide context when you post a followup. We can't
necessarily see the article to which you're replying.

If you want to post a followup via groups.google.c om, don't use
the broken "Reply" link at the bottom of the article. Click on
"show options" at the top of the article, then click on the
"Reply" at the bottom of the article headers.

Second, I don't think you've made your question any clearer. I think
the problem is that you're asking the wrong question. Somebody
mentioned pointers; it's true that pointers play a larger role in C
than in most other languages. But I think what you really need is
advice on how to learn C.

K&R2 (Kernighan & Ritchie's "The C Programming Language", 2nd Edition)
is almost universally considered to be one of the best C tutorials in
existence. Get a copy of the book and work through it. Do the
exercises.

Read the C FAQ, <http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/faq.html>. Parts of
it may not make much sense yet, but they should by the time you finish
K&R2. The FAQ also has some advice on books and other resources.

Pick a good medium-sized project and implement it in C. I don't have
any good ideas off the top of my head, but I'm sure others will.

In my opinion (such as it is), this is the best answer and info that
could be given to a new 'C' programmer. It should be used as the
standard template for the question, "How do I get started learning the
'C' Programming Language?" (and other questions of similar ilk).

try focus more on pointers & better try out programs, and then study
test ur c skills

Thank you for advice.
