Python to C

Mirror Course

Go from Python's high-level abstractions to C's bare metal. Learn manual memory management, static types, and understand what Python does for you automatically.

Variables & Types

Dynamic vs static typing

Functions

Defining functions in C

Lists → Arrays

Sequential data storage

Memory Management

What Python does for you automatically

String Handling

Text processing in C

Structs

C struct and typedef — grouping related data without classes

Preprocessor

C preprocessor directives — includes, defines, conditional compilation

File I/O

fopen/fclose, reading/writing text and binary files, error handling with errno

Pointers and Manual Memory

C pointers hold the memory address of a value; manual heap allocation (malloc/free) replaces Python's automatic garbage collection.

Build System: Makefile

C projects use Makefiles (or CMake) for incremental compilation; this is the equivalent of Python's pip/setup.py/pyproject.toml workflow but for compiled artifacts.
