What you'll learn

Data structures are an essential part of building code because they make a complex set of related data easier to work with and can be more efficiently stored. The larger the amount of data, the more critical the data structures become. In this course, C Foundations: Structures, Unions, and Custom Data Types, you’ll master the use of structs, unions, and typedefs in C programming. First, you’ll explore the how and why of data structures. Next, you’ll discover how to leverage typedef for custom data types. Finally, you’ll learn how to manage these complex data structures. When you’re finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge of structs, unions, and typedefs in C programming needed to be an unstoppable master of data organization and structuring.
