In this 1.5 hour project-based course, you will learn the basics of C structures and build a reusable circular buffer data structure. We will do this by upgrading an embedded program for a rocket display module.
We will first use C structures to store incoming messages in a circular buffer to allow more new messages to be received. Then, we will add a new feature to purge older informational messages to save memory space.
This project will help C programmers to master C structures and how to build reusable data structures. Both are essential C programming skills to become a successful C programmer.
This course is aimed at learners who have already mastered these entry level C skills: variables, scalar data types (int, long, char), fixed size arrays, while loops, functions, pointers, and using external functions with header files.
