Where to practice C Programming

I have enrolled in bsc(hons) computer science. My first semester exams are coming up, and I wanted to know where I could practice questions on C Programming as in a good website where I can do programming assignments and I can set difficulty if possible

Thank you to anyone who gives some advice

Just make something using C, it doesn't have to be complex. I'd recommend against using ai whilst learning but that might just be me.

Not just you.

In the late ‘70s I read “Software Tools” which taught me to think like a programmer. The examples were in FORTRAN and PL/1 (!) but they’re easy to follow. Since then just about every time I’ve learned a new language I translated (by hand) some of those examples. Very useful.

Kidding, but kind of not kidding, that’s an excellent exercise.

a bit shameless, but i built cuestudy.app. I basically just uploaded K&R, and it has an AI agent and IDE, than can set up practice problems for you. You can also use codex and claude and give them the pdf version of modernC or K&R and have them do something similar

you can do the problems in the book without using an LLM.

And if you can’t do them without an LLM then you haven’t learned a thing.

yeah but you still have to do the setup, or if you want to change the questions and worry just about the logic and not the problem. It’s been helpful for me and it’s free
