Structures and Unions:

Structures allow you to group different data types together under one name. They are useful for organizing data in a meaningful way. Example:

struct Person {
    char name[50];
    int age;
    float salary;
};

Unions are similar to structures but allocate enough memory to hold the largest member. Only one member of the union can be accessed at a time. Example:

union Data {
    int i;
    float f;
    char str[20];
};

File Handling:

File handling in C involves operations like opening, reading, writing, and closing files. Example of writing to a file:

FILE *fp;
fp = fopen("file.txt", "w");
fprintf(fp, "Hello, File World!");
fclose(fp);

Dynamic Memory Allocation:

C provides functions like malloc(), calloc(), realloc(), and free() for dynamic memory allocation. Example:

int *ptr;
ptr = (int *) malloc(5 * sizeof(int));
if (ptr != NULL) {
    ptr[0] = 1;
    ptr[1] = 2;
    // Use ptr
    free(ptr);
}

Linked Lists:

A linked list is a linear data structure where elements are not stored at contiguous memory locations. Each element (node) contains data and a pointer to the next node. Example:

struct Node {
    int data;
    struct Node *next;
};

// Example of creating nodes and linking them
struct Node *head = NULL;
struct Node *second = NULL;
struct Node *third = NULL;

head = malloc(sizeof(struct Node));
second = malloc(sizeof(struct Node));
third = malloc(sizeof(struct Node));

head->data = 1;
head->next = second;

second->data = 2;
second->next = third;

third->data = 3;
third->next = NULL;

Stack and Queue:

Stack follows the Last In First Out (LIFO) principle. Example:

#define MAX 100
int stack[MAX];
int top = -1;

void push(int item) {
    if (top >= MAX - 1) {
        printf("Stack Overflow");
        return;
    }
    stack[++top] = item;
}

int pop() {
    if (top < 0) {
        printf("Stack Underflow");
        return -1;
    }
    return stack[top--];
}

Queue follows the First In First Out (FIFO) principle. Example:

#define MAX 100
int queue[MAX];
int front = -1, rear = -1;

void enqueue(int item) {
    if (rear == MAX - 1) {
        printf("Queue Overflow");
        return;
    }
    if (front == -1) front = 0;
    queue[++rear] = item;
}

int dequeue() {
    if (front == -1 || front > rear) {
        printf("Queue Underflow");
        return -1;
    }
    return queue[front++];
}

Trees:

Trees are hierarchical data structures with a root node and child nodes. Example:

struct TreeNode {
    int data;
    struct TreeNode *left;
    struct TreeNode *right;
};

// Example of creating a tree
struct TreeNode *root = NULL;
root = malloc(sizeof(struct TreeNode));
root->data = 1;
root->left = malloc(sizeof(struct TreeNode));
root->left->data = 2;
root->left->left = NULL;
root->left->right = NULL;
root->right = malloc(sizeof(struct TreeNode));
root->right->data = 3;
root->right->left = NULL;
root->right->right = NULL;

Certainly! Here are brief explanations and examples of more searching and sorting algorithms in C:

Sorting Algorithms:

Bubble Sort:

Bubble Sort repeatedly steps through the list, compares adjacent elements, and swaps them if they are in the wrong order.

void bubbleSort(int arr[], int n) {
    int i, j;
    for (i = 0; i < n-1; i++) {
        for (j = 0; j < n-i-1; j++) {
            if (arr[j] > arr[j+1]) {
                int temp = arr[j];
                arr[j] = arr[j+1];
                arr[j+1] = temp;
            }
        }
    }
}

Quick Sort:

Quick Sort is a divide-and-conquer algorithm that selects a pivot element and partitions the array around the pivot.

void swap(int* a, int* b) {
    int temp = *a;
    *a = *b;
    *b = temp;
}

int partition(int arr[], int low, int high) {
    int pivot = arr[high];
    int i = (low - 1);

    for (int j = low; j <= high - 1; j++) {
        if (arr[j] < pivot) {
            i++;
            swap(&arr[i], &arr[j]);
        }
    }
    swap(&arr[i + 1], &arr[high]);
    return (i + 1);
}

void quickSort(int arr[], int low, int high) {
    if (low < high) {
        int pi = partition(arr, low, high);

        quickSort(arr, low, pi - 1);
        quickSort(arr, pi + 1, high);
    }
}

Selection Sort:

Selection Sort repeatedly finds the minimum element from the unsorted part of the array and swaps it with the first unsorted element.

void selectionSort(int arr[], int n) {
    int i, j, min_idx;
    for (i = 0; i < n-1; i++) {
        min_idx = i;
        for (j = i+1; j < n; j++) {
            if (arr[j] < arr[min_idx])
                min_idx = j;
        }
        int temp = arr[min_idx];
        arr[min_idx] = arr[i];
        arr[i] = temp;
    }
}

Insertion Sort:

Insertion Sort builds the final sorted array one item at a time by inserting each item into its correct position.

void insertionSort(int arr[], int n) {
    int i, key, j;
    for (i = 1; i < n; i++) {
        key = arr[i];
        j = i - 1;

        while (j >= 0 && arr[j] > key) {
            arr[j + 1] = arr[j];
            j--;
        }
        arr[j + 1] = key;
    }
}

Searching Algorithms:

Binary Search:

Binary Search works on sorted arrays by repeatedly dividing the search interval in half.

int binarySearch(int arr[], int l, int r, int x) {
    while (l <= r) {
        int mid = l + (r - l) / 2;

        if (arr[mid] == x)
            return mid;

        if (arr[mid] < x)
            l = mid + 1;
        else
            r = mid - 1;
    }

    return -1;
}

Linear Search:

Linear Search sequentially checks each element of the list until a match is found or the whole list has been searched.

int linearSearch(int arr[], int n, int x) {
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        if (arr[i] == x)
            return i;
    }

    return -1;
}

Multithreading:

C supports multithreading via libraries like POSIX threads (pthread). Example of creating threads:

#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void *printHello(void *threadid) {
    long tid;
    tid = (long)threadid;
    printf("Hello World! Thread ID, %ld\n", tid);
    pthread_exit(NULL);
}

int main () {
    pthread_t threads[5];
    int rc;
    long t;

    for (t = 0; t < 5; t++) {
        rc = pthread_create(&threads[t], NULL, printHello, (void *)t);
        if (rc) {
            printf("ERROR; return code from pthread_create() is %d\n", rc);
            return -1;
        }
    }

    pthread_exit(NULL);
}

Memory Management:

Involves managing memory efficiently using techniques like malloc, free, and avoiding memory leaks.
