A collection of practical C programming projects built while learning and strengthening my understanding of the C programming language.

These projects progress from basic data structures and file handling to dynamic memory allocation, pointers, and more complex program logic. 🚀

A command-line student management system that allows users to:

• ➕ Add students
• 👀 View all students
• 🔎 Search students by ID
• 🗑️ Delete students
• ✏️ Update grades
• 💾 Save data to a CSV file
• 📂 Load existing records

struct • Arrays • Pointers • Functions • File I/O • CSV • String handling

📁 Location: Project 1 - Student Dashboard

A command-line ATM/banking simulation where users can create accounts and perform basic banking operations.

• 👤 Create an account
• 🔐 Login using account number and PIN
• 💰 Check balance
• ➕ Deposit money
• ➖ Withdraw money
• 🔄 Transfer money between accounts
• 🚪 Logout
• 💾 Persistent account data

struct • Arrays • Pointers • Strings • File I/O • Authentication logic • Functions

📁 Location: Project 2 - Bank ATM System

A terminal-based Hangman game where the player attempts to guess a randomly selected word.

Players receive a maximum of 6 incorrect guesses before losing.

• 🎲 Random word selection
• 🔤 Letter guessing
• ❤️ Six chances
• 📊 Score tracking
• ⚠️ Final-warning stage
• 🏆 Win detection
• 💀 Loss detection
• 🔄 Play again option

Arrays • Strings • Pointers • Functions • Loops • Conditional logic • Random number generation

📁 Location: Project 3 - Hangman Game

A command-line task manager that uses dynamic memory allocation instead of a fixed-size array.

• ➕ Add tasks
• 👀 View tasks
• ✅ Mark tasks as completed
• 🔄 Mark tasks as incomplete
• 🗑️ Delete individual tasks
• 🧹 Delete all completed tasks
• 💾 Save tasks to a file
• 📂 Load tasks when the program starts
• 📈 Dynamically grow the task list
• 📉 Dynamically shrink the task list
• 🧠 Free allocated memory

malloc() • realloc() • free() • Pointers • Double pointers • Dynamic arrays • Structures • File I/O

📁 Location: Project 4 - Dynamic To-Do List

The projects represent a progression in my understanding of C:

       ▼
Project 4
Dynamic To-Do List
       │
       ▼
Dynamic Memory + malloc + realloc + free

The Dynamic To-Do List was particularly useful for understanding how memory can be allocated and resized at runtime rather than relying on a fixed-size array.

• C

• Variables and data types
• Functions
• Loops
• Conditionals
• Arrays
• Strings
• Structures
• Pointers
• Double pointers
• Dynamic memory allocation
• File handling
• Input/output
• Searching
• Array manipulation
• Random number generation

stdio.h
string.h
stdlib.h
ctype.h
time.h

This repository contains projects created while developing my C programming fundamentals.

Rather than only completing isolated exercises, I am using these projects to practice building complete command-line applications that combine multiple programming concepts.

The projects gradually introduce more advanced concepts, particularly:

🧱 Data structures 👉 Pointers 📂 File handling 🧠 Dynamic memory management 🔧 Modular program design 🧪 Problem solving

More C projects will be added as I continue progressing through the language and exploring topics such as:

• 🧠 Data structures
• 🔍 Algorithms
• 🧵 More advanced pointers
• 📦 Linked lists
• 🌳 Trees
• 🔎 Searching and sorting
• 💾 More advanced file handling
• 🧪 Testing
• 🧩 Modular C projects
