C Programming Complete Course | Integer Types, Memory & Optimization

Master Advanced C Programming concepts used in Embedded Systems and High-Performance Computing. This 5-hour full course goes deep into the internals of the C language. Unlike basic tutorials, we cover critical topics like integer promotion rules, safe memory management, string handling strategies, and how compilers optimize your code (and how undefined behavior can break it). What you will master in this course: -Advanced Types: Deep dive into size_t, ptrdiff_t, and Signed vs. Unsigned risks. -System Stability: Handling integer overflows, promotions, and bitwise operations safely. -Memory Safety: "Caller allocates" patterns and bounds-checking interfaces. -Compiler Optimization: Understanding constant folding, aliasing, and dead-code removal. Perfect for systems engineers, game developers, and anyone preparing for technical coding interviews. 👇 TIMESTAMPS & CHAPTERS: 00:00:00 Introduction to the Course *Module 1: Integer Types* 00:02:30 What you will learn in this Module 00:03:19 Introduction to integer types 00:07:19 Unsigned integers 00:28:35 Signed integers 00:46:21 Character types 00:53:47 size_t 01:07:34 ptrdiff_t, intmax_t and uintmax_t 01:12:17 Summary *Module 2: Integer Conversions* 01:13:36 What you will learn in this Module 01:14:23 Conversion rank, promotions, and the usual arithmetic conversions 01:28:07 Conversions to unsigned types 01:36:12 Conversions to signed types 01:43:41 Summary *Module 3: Integer Operations* 01:44:41 What you will learn in this Module 01:45:36 Assignment 01:57:25 Addition and subtraction 02:02:52 Multiplication and upcasting 02:16:50 Division and remainder 02:24:36 Shifting 02:38:42 Summary *Module 4: Characters, Arrays, and Strings* 02:40:09 What you will learn in this Module 02:40:57 Sizing arrays 02:47:32 String literals and their use as array initializers 02:50:54 Character types and what they are used for 02:59:19 Summary *Module 5: String Handling* 03:00:40 What you will learn in this Module 03:02:03 Caller allocates, caller frees 03:13:25 Bounds-checking interfaces 03:28:44 Callee allocates, caller frees (POSIX) 03:34:10 Summary *Module 6: Optimization* 03:35:08 What you will learn in this Module 03:36:33 Undefined behaviors and the "as if" rule 03:42:11 Constant folding 03:45:58 Algebraic simplification and pointer arithmetic 03:56:54 Hoisting of loop-invariant computations 04:07:05 Dead-code removal 04:29:44 Aliasing 04:57:10 Summary 04:59:26 Course Summary & Conclusion Tags: advanced c programming, c programming course, embedded c tutorial, systems programming, c compiler optimization, memory management c, size_t vs int, c language tutorial, undefined behavior c, low level programming, computer science degree, alpha brains, coding interview c, c integer promotion, c string handling, embedded systems engineering, c pointers explained, writing safe c code, learn c programming, c programming full course #CProgramming #EmbeddedSystems #SystemsEngineering #Coding #AlphaBrains #ComputerScience -Subscribe + Hit the Bell for weekly TECH tutorials that fast-track your IT career and help you land high-paying tech jobs! -Drop a comment below about your current networking knowledge level - We read every single one! *Show your Love & Support:* https://www.patreon.com/alphabrains ☕️ *Buy us a coffee!* (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/alphabrains) Would Help me make more content like this one :) ``` If you are involved in ANY form of online collaboration, then have I got the all-in-one solution for you!
