I covered basic c programming . Now what I should ? Finish deep (data structure and algorithm) in c or move in c++ ?

Thanks in advance.

In C++, you can use C code.

I would suggest first maybe learn more about data structures and algorithms just in C.

When it all goes well, then you can open the door to C++ (classes, references and a whole new set of libraries).

Otherwise, there would be an overwhelming amount of information which only would form a shallow knowledge that you couldn't use when you need it.

Practice makes perfect. ;)

Good luck!

A classic book is https://www.amazon.com.au/Programming-Language-Brian-W-Kernighan/dp/0131103628

The co-author (Dennis Ritchie) is the one who created the C language. :)

But this focuses mostly on the C language itself. I never read it though, but we were suggested this book at university and you can see it's very highly rated.

I personally prefer (online) tutorials or problems straight away.

For instance, someone posted these problems:
1. http://question.onlinegdb.com/10435/how-to-program-in-c-language-structured-data
2. http://question.onlinegdb.com/10436/programming-in-c-data-structure-card-game

I think they are relatively easy. I also suggested a solution (logic, not the actual code) for them.

You can look around and solve problems on this site, or find other sites. Up to you.

It can also be useful to look at existing solutions for existing problems. For instance I provided some answer for this problem (regarding data structures: arrays and structures): http://question.onlinegdb.com/10453/i-need-to-include-names-of-countries

Some resources I often use is the C/C++ reference that has the list of C (and C++) libraries, functions, etc: https://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/

You can find various tutorials, e.g. https://www.tutorialspoint.com/cprogramming/index.htm.

You can also post your own problem on this site and provide your solution. Members will be happy to have a second look and provide opinions, suggestions, fixes. (I would definitely be happy to look at your code.)

If you're an absolute beginner, you can do maybe first some simple, well known mathematical problems.

E.g. Ask the user to provide a number. Print every number between 0 and this number. Then you can spice it up, e.g. print only the odd numbers. Or print only the primes. Or only the palindromes (google what a palindrome is, in short: it reads forward and backwards the same, e.g. 22 or 141 or 1111).

So dig in, start learning, start solving problems. Actually doing programming is way more effective than just reading about them.

Good luck! :)

I would suggest you to complete DSA in C first, then switching from C to C++ is just a matter of syntax changes
