If you feel like you don't understand the material, feel free to go back and redo the course. Maybe take some notes if you didn't before. Have a nice day!

Read Kernighan & Ritchie's book "The C Programming Language 2nd Edition" (a.k.a the C bible) it's written by the authors of the language. It's clear, straight to the point, and it covers a lot of ground. It's quite short compared to most other books on C (around 200 pages) with a lot of useful examples and exercises. It's probably one of - if not 'the' best books on C you'll ever find. I can't recommend it enough.

Other sources can help. So can repeating the tutorial and practice on code playground.

It's because you used the shortcut skips on the course, you need to read through it all! Also, if you really want a solid foundation in C i HIGHLY recommend this book, it's called "C Programming: A Modern approach (2nd edition) You can pick up a copy here: https://b-ok.cc/book/687057/404071

The sololearn course is short and simple, just enough to get you started. So learning from another source is a good idea. The best thing I can suggest is writing lots of code. The first few programs you write will likely just do something silly (and that's OK). Then try to do something useful (but still simple) and move on from there.

Look for Mike Dane on YouTube, he has a very good introductory courses on many programming languages, including C. I'm sure his videos will help you a lot. Really, give it a try. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvmINlrza7JHB1zkIOuXEbw

Trevis Schiffer If you want to avoid the gcc extensions, use -std=c11

Another great source I found for learning C is The GNU C Programming Tutorial. I try to follow the examples with an IDE to help the points stick.

See challenges are like refresher tests as long as you practice nothing seems difficult. Start writing codes from what you learnt you will gain more knowledge.
