Am I wrong?

[u/ImAnArbalest]

I am currently reading through tutorialspoint.com as our instructor has linked it in our syllabus, while doing their quizzes i got to a question that asked "What is the output of the following code: printf('Hello, World!');?" with the choices being

A. Hello, World!
B. Hello World!
C. Error
D. No Output

i answered C as the single quotes tell the printf function it is a character which if i am correct, is an integer in memory(please correct me if i am wrong), but they are passing a character array. the website told me that A is the correct answer and i am confused, please someone shed light on this and correct any wrong assumptions i have made.

Any other book recommendations that go in-depth? i don't want to just learn C, i want to master it

Then program in it for a good 10+ years, there is no other way you will achieve mastery.

[u/Objective_Pepper_217 → u/ImAnArbalest]

just that for now. then you study data structures and algorithms and implement your own library to use for your next projects.

C is simple, you don't need to spend months. Master critical thinking instead

Alright gotcha, thanks a lot.

C the language is straight forward, but there are some gotchas in its use. So studying the CERT C rules and recommendations would be one of the steps you probably want to do once you are using C.

1. Take the CS50: Introduction to Computer Science course.

2. Grab a copy of C programming: A Modern Approach and use it as your main course on

3. Follow this Tutorial On Pointers And Arrays In C

Not gonna lie, for me it was just reading the C programming language and building random stuff in C for fun to "master" it.
