im new to programming language. but i want to learn everything in detail. will you help me to fulfill my programming skills and im practicing c language.
i started learning c language two months before, i am getting a lot of doubts but there is no place to find solutions for it, until found i found this. so im asking that can you help me to find valid solutions for my doubts...... and im learning it by books and internet, not by daily classes in any institute....
Hi suryabear and welcome to LQ!
I think it is a good idea to learn C. It is a complicated job but worth trying. I have learnt programming by myself with help from the web, too. If you have questions in details you can post them in the forum for programming questions. You will find a lot of help there.
Have a good time

Also at the top of that forum, you'll find a sticky thread which has a bunch of C/C++ Tutorials
I'm also not aware of any existing C function, named show(). Therefore the same question as YesItsMe, which is what do you intend this function to do, or do you have a perception that it already does exist? (If so, please share a reference)
I like C programming in Linux because the OS is all about that language. Meanwhile the build-essential package gives you the compiler and debugger. It may already be on a distribution you happen to be using, just try things like "gcc --version" and you'll find out if you have the GCC compiler.
Distribution: Debian /Jessie/Stretch/Sid, Linux Mint DE

Apparently this is an assignment or homework. Unless you show (much) more context of this question we have to assume you ask us to write your code.
If you want (really want) to learn C like we all did, get your hands on "The C programming language" by Kernigan & Ritchie and start working the examples. It is antique, but you cannot learn to run if you did not learn to walk first. If you think it is expensive to purchase, the price is *nothing* compared to the hours you will be spending coding and debugging.
It might be that there are tutorials on the internet, but there will be good tutorials and bad tutorials. If you pick one, make sure it consists of various steps with explanations and exercises for you to carry out (yourself).
Another couple of good places to snoop-around are SourceForge and GitHub.
Here you can readily find the complete source code to actual, sometimes very-substantial applications, in "C" or in any other language under the sun, which work. I find it extremely informative to lookat code which is known to be complete and runnable.
Also, when I'm embarking on something new, I always tell myself, "I know that somebody out there has already done this, and I know where to look!" In fact, these days it is rare for me to "start from scratch" on anything at all. ("Why should I?")

no, that is only something you can do.
Take smaller bytes if you're finding it too overwhelming and chew slower before you swallow.
