  • Write programs to practice these concepts.
• Day 3: Control Flow
  • Study if statements, switch statements, and loops (for, while, do-while).
  • Write programs to apply these control structures.

Days 4-7: Functions and More C Basics

• Day 4: Functions
  • Learn about functions, function declarations, and function definitions.
  • Practice writing and calling functions.
• Day 5: Arrays and Strings
  • Study arrays and C-style strings (character arrays).
