C is God's programming language. You don't learn it, you live it ;)

Pay attention to pointers, null terminators and strings. And semi-colons. Check for NULL before you do things that could crash. Make sure you use == for comparison, because = is assignment. Every switch case needs a break at the end, otherwise it falls through quietly to the next case.

Just code entirely in binary so it'll actually work on every device

I love C so much it's such a fun language. I... uhh. I think I might have a problem

i suck and just finished a C++ course but i'm tempted to try C, how hard is it compared to C++

C is easy. Linking libraries and compiling is the painful part 💀

C is not for the faint of heart. one wrong move and you'll be drowning in segfaults and memory leaks

Once you figure out why pointers exist and when to use them you’ll have figured out half of what you need to learn any language!

C was my first programming language (I’m old). After C, I spent time with C++, Java, and finally, Python. Then there was a project that I did in Python that had performance issues, and the fix was to rewrite it in C. After one day of working in C++ again, I gave up and bought more hardware.

Hey im sure your going to do great and learn a lot writing your own reference safety and garbage collection like a caveperson.

It can be helpful to download an existing, little project that builds ok. And then dissect it and see what it does, that yours isn't doing. Using makefiles, I assume?

Wait till you get into assembly.

My first coding language was Assembly. Everything after was a gift.

1A project name, would recommend as a default for all courses on C.

I have resisted learning C for a long time. The good news is that I think Rust is viable for the only place where I'd want to use C, microcontrollers. But then I'd need to learn Rust. 🦀
