C Fundamentals & Compilation

Program close to the bare metal.

Week Overview

Enter the world of compiled systems programming. Understand how source code transforms into machine binaries, learn strict primitive data types, and write your first high-performance C programs.

Core Concepts & Topics

GCC Compilation Pipeline (Preprocessor, Compiler, Assembler, Linker)
Primitive Data Types (int, char, float, double)
Operators & Control Flow in C
Functions, Scope & Prototypes
Header Files and Multi-File Projects
Hands-On Challenge

Week 9 Project: Command-line scientific calculator and unit conversion engine in C.

Every week at DoxaTech Hub requires submitting real working code tested by our automated grading suite. You will push code to your personal GitHub repository, open pull requests, and receive instant feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions
