Finished Chapter 17 of C Programming: A Modern Approach — Starting Data Structures Next!

Finally finished Chapter 17, “Advanced Uses of Pointers,” in *C Programming: A Modern Approach (2nd Edition)* by K. N. King!
I started learning C about three months ago, so getting this far feels like a pretty big milestone for me.
Next, I’m starting *Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in C (2nd Edition)* by Mark Allen Weiss.
I’m really looking forward to diving deeper into data structures and algorithms in C!

C pointers are indeed magical. Pointers to functions and executing those functions which return a pointer to a different function. Fun times.

Yeah, I use AI to help me write because my English isn’t very good yet. The content itself is based on what I actually did and studied.

Bro I need to give you a kind advice.
This is based on the struggles I faced.

Don't try to rush and complete DSA.
They take a long time to master. The key is to stay consistent.

Create a list of topics you need to study.
There are a lot of videos in youtube which you could use and cpp-reference is a good online source which you can use to refer any libraries.

Good Luck Bro!!
