Code typing · C · Single course
Type C without hunting for *, &, ->, #include, and %d.
Your prose speed does not carry over to C. This course drills pointer stars (*), address-of (&), struct arrows (->), preprocessor lines (#include <stdio.h>), and printf format specifiers (%d, %s) inside real, working code until the symbols stop costing you a beat.

What you'll be able to do
- Work through 33 C lessons across 5 modules (about 2.8 hours)
- Type *, &, ->, #include, and %d without looking down or backspacing
- Produce C declarations, control flow, and function signatures as single motor patterns
- Hit camelCase, snake_case, and PascalCase identifiers at the same speed as plain words
- Hold accuracy on symbol-dense lines instead of falling into correction loops
- Track your C speed and accuracy separately from your prose numbers

Who it's for
This course is for
- Systems programmers, embedded developers, and students in a first C course
- Bootcamp students and career switchers learning C syntax and typing it for the first time
- Interview candidates facing live-coding rounds in C, where boilerplate eats thinking time
- Fast prose typists whose C speed is a fraction of their English speed
Probably not for
- Developers who never write C — pick the course for the language you actually use
- Typists who have not learned touch typing on letters yet; start with the free beginner course
- Polyglot engineers who want several languages — Complete Code Typing Pack is cheaper per course
How the course works
- 1
Symbols first
The Symbols & Operators module isolates *, &, ->, #include, and %d so the keys that cause the most hesitation get drilled on their own.
- 2
Then idioms
Keywords & Idioms and Real Snippets move from single operators to the C patterns you type every day, all in working code.
- 3
Then the clock
Speed Runs and Assessment Simulations put the patterns under time pressure, which is where an untrained symbol key shows up.
Curriculum
5 modules · 29 drills · 4 simulations · ~2.8 hrs
33 lessons in 5 modules — Symbols & Operators, Keywords & Idioms, Real Snippets, Speed Runs, Assessment Simulations — roughly 2.8 hours. Every snippet is real C that works as written, so the patterns you drill are the ones you will type at work.

5 lessonsWhy typing speed matters for code
C concentrates meaning into single characters — a misplaced * or & is a compile error, so accuracy matters more than raw pace.
Every backspace in an editor is a round trip: notice, stop, delete, retype. On symbol-dense lines that loop costs far more than the keystroke it saved, which is why accuracy beats raw speed here.
Each C drill is original code written to compile or run as authored, so your muscle memory learns correct syntax rather than typos.

Frequently asked questions
I already type fast in English. Do I need a C course?
Probably. C concentrates meaning into single characters — a misplaced * or & is a compile error, so accuracy matters more than raw pace. Try the free preview lessons and compare the number to your prose speed — the gap is the part this course closes.
Should I get Complete Code Typing Pack instead?
If you write more than one language, yes. Complete Code Typing Pack covers all 16 language courses — $304 bought one at a time, $59 together, saving $245 (81%). If C is the only language you type all day, buy this course on its own.
Is the C code real?
Yes. Every drill is original C written to compile or run as authored, covering variables, functions, control flow, data structures, and the idioms specific to the language.
Can I try the C course before I buy?
Yes. The first 2 lessons of every paid course are free previews — sign in and start typing. If the drills feel right, one purchase unlocks the rest.
Does my progress save?
Yes. Lesson completions, speed and accuracy history, and your all-time best records are stored on your account, so you can pick up on any device where you left off.
Is the C course a one-time purchase?
Yes. You pay once and keep lifetime access. There is no recurring charge and nothing to cancel — the course stays in your library for as long as SureTyping exists.
