C Programming Intensive Course

Welcome to the C Programming Intensive Course (CPIC) — a series of fast-paced training sessions designed to help you practice competitive programming in C, one topic at a time.

Throughout June and July, the course runs as three contests per week (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays). Each contest contains up to 20 problems, so you can systematically practice and steadily improve your skills. We start from the very basics — input and output — and then move on to conditional statements, loops, arrays, strings, and functions. Alongside the fundamentals, every contest also includes a few more challenging thematic problems to keep the course engaging for participants of different levels.

The course is prepared and run by @medv, and is based on the Programming Principles 1 course taught at ADA University, School of IT and Engineering.
