A vital part of programming is being able to reuse codes in an efficient and effective way. Using variable scopes, storage classes, different user-defined types like structs, unions and enums allow programmers to scale their programs and create meaningful structures. Begin by exploring variable scope and learn how to input argument scoping and redefine variables. Discover how to work with storage classes and access them in file scope, local scope, and across files. Finally, take a look at different user-defined types in C. Upon completion of this course, you will be able to confidently leverage variable scopes and storage classes to define values, scope, and visibility.
