C Programming Language

Welcome to the C community!
C is quirky, flawed, and an enormous success.
... When I read commentary about suggestions for where C should go, I often think back and give thanks that it wasn't developed under the advice of a worldwide crowd.
... The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.

TBF it is not complicated but it does use the simplest form of pointer arithmetic and order of operation of (++var) or (*var++). Considering OP couldn't write a basic version of this I did not want to put pressure on him. If you can understand it as a beginner good for you! You must remember that a lot of developers struggle to learn pointers in the first place for some reason. I blame AI.
EDIT: Also I did not say this is advanced, just not beginner friendly
