Happy New Year!

Today we’re going to talk about the top five functions that every beginner programmer must learn. It doesn’t matter which programming language you’re focusing on—whether it’s Java, Python, C, C++, or whatever programming language you’re learning—every beginner programmer should know these five C programming functions.

The real reason why I believe every beginner programmer should learn these functions is because every programmer should learn how to code in C at some point in their programming journey. I always recommend that beginner programmers learn C because learning C really forces you to understand how computers store and process data. Every successful programmer in the software development field has had some experience with C, and these functions that I’m going to mention in this video are likely ones they know as well.

All right, back to the top five functions. This was a really hard list to make because it really depends on what you’re trying to program. However, I thought this would be a really cool video, especially if you’re new to functions.

I know that learning about functions and all the libraries in C can be intimidating and overwhelming because there are so many functions out there. So, I’m just going to focus on the functions that are really important—the ones that I’ve seen used a lot, especially for beginners. Hopefully, this gives you some clues, ideas, and inspiration on how you can use other functions in these libraries as well.

The best way that I’ve learned how to use functions is through example code. So, I’m going to go through some example code and show you how to use these functions. At the end, I’m also going to go over a bonus set of functions that you really need to learn if you’re a beginner at programming.

Thank you for watching, and happy coding! 💻
