The basic syntax of the modern C language is described: data types, operators, conditions, loops, working with numbers, strings, arrays and pointers, creating user-defined functions, modules, static and dynamic libraries.

The main functions are considered the C standard library, as well as functions that are used only in the Windows operating system. To write, compile and run programs, the Eclipse editor is used, and to create an executable file, the gcc.exe compiler version 8.2, which is part of the popular MinGW-W64 library, is used. The book contains a large number of practical examples to help you start programming in C yourself.

All material is carefully selected, well structured and compactly presented, which allows you to use the book as a convenient reference.
