1. Greetings and felicitations!
2. Example program: binary tree
3. Libraries
   1. compiling with libraries
   2. common libraries: stdio, ctype
4. Standard I/O Library (#include <stdio.h>)
   1. open file: fopen
   2. unstructured read/write: getchar, fgetc (getc), putchar, fputc (putc)
   3. formatted read/write: fgets (gets), fscanf, fputs (puts), fprintf
   4. structured read/write: fread, fwrite
   5. random access: fseek, ftell, rewind
   6. close file: fclose
   7. miscellaneous: feof, ferror, clearerr
5. Character types and conversions (#include <ctype.h>)
   1. alphabetics, numerics, alphanumerics: isalnum, ialdigit, isxdigit, isalpha
   2. ypper, lower, and conversions: isupper, islower, toupper, tolower
   3. types of chars: iscntrl, isgraph (not blank, printable), isprint (printable), ispunct, isspace
6. String conversion (#include <stdlib.h>)
   1. string to number: atoi, atof, atol
7. String functions (#include <string.h>)
   1. compare: strcmp, strncmp, strcasecmp, strncasecmp; memcmp
   2. copy: strcpy, strncpy; memcpy (no overlap), memmove (overlap okay)
   3. find character: strchr (index), strrchr (rindex), strpbrk; memchr
   4. length: strlen
8. Memory management (#include <stdlib.h>
   1. Allocation: malloc, calloc
   2. Release: free, cfree (deprecated)
   3. Reallocation: realloc()
9. Miscellaneous
   1. terminate program (exit); include <stdlib.h>
   2. sort array of data (qsort); include <stdlib.h>
   3. time of day (time, ctime); include <time.h>
   4. execute cvommand (system); include <stdlib.h>
