ANSI C Programming: The Standard Library and Preprocessor

Course details

To describe programming file and other I/O operations in ANSI C and how to implement facilities from the standard library

• Library and header files in ANSI C
• name the most common header files and list their uses and identify the functions used to read and write using standard I/O in ANSI C.
• Using the printf() function in ANSI C
• print and format output using the printf() function in ANSI C.
• Using the scanf() function in ANSI C
• accept and format user input, using the scanf() function in ANSI C.
• File handling basics in ANSI C
• use the file pointer, open and close a file, get characters and strings from files, and put characters and strings into files in ANSI C.
• Buffered I/O in ANSI C
• list the characteristics of buffered I/O and identify the ANSI C functions that it uses.
• Using buffered I/O functions in ANSI C
• complete the code that will create and write to a file, using buffered I/O functions in ANSI C.
• String handling in ANSI C
• list the common string handling functions in ANSI C and use them correctly.
• Using command-line arguments in ANSI C
• list the characteristics of the argc and argv command-line arguments and use them to accept user input in ANSI C.
• Using #include and #define in ANSI C
• use the #include preprocessor directive to include a header file in a program and use #define to create identifiers and macros in ANSI C.
• Conditional compilation and debugging in ANSI C
• identify the preprocessor directives and macros used for conditional compiling, debugging, and diagnostics in ANSI C.
