Muhammad Saqib – Senior Software Engineer & Founder of MyCPlus

Muhammad Saqib is the founder and lead author of MyCPlus, the programming-education site he launched in 2004. The idea grew out of his own struggle learning to program at university — C was the first language he picked up — and the help he wished he’d had became the site he built for others. What began as a C and C++ resource has since grown into a broad hub of tutorials, working code examples, and computer science guides across many languages and skill levels.

He holds an MSc in Computer Applications from the University of Plymouth, UK (2008) and has spent over 15 years building large-scale software across automotive, healthcare, retail, mobility, and education. Along the way he has worked with Ford, Hyundai, Trilogy/DevFactory, OT EMR, Al Othaim Markets, and NUST–SEECS, and today leads backend engineering as Technical Team Lead at a public transportation authority.

A hands-on, polyglot engineer, he works across C/C++, Java, C#, PHP, Python, and JavaScript, and writes here about programming, software engineering, DevOps, Agile, and computer science.

More than twenty years on, MyCPlus keeps the goal it started with: clear tutorials, real source code, and a place for learners to get unstuck — written by someone who has been on both sides of the problem.

Bubble Sort in C and C++: Step-by-Step Passes, Early Exit and Complexity

Bubble sort explained with a pass table, clean C and C++ code, measured comparison counts, and when qsort or std::sort is the better choice.

TCP Client and Server in C: A Working Echo Example

Setting up a TCP connection takes six system calls. Using it correctly means handling a byte stream with no message boundaries and partial transfers.

Writing UDP Data Sender and Receiver in C

The sender program is a UDP datagram sender that can be configured through command line options. It initializes Winsock, creates a UDP socket, and either connects to a recipient’s IP address or uses sendto() to send datagram messages. The receiver program complements the sender by receiving UDP datagrams.

graphics: graphics.h Header File

This is the graphics.h header file which contains all the graphics functions and their implementations. It is quite nice to have a look at header files just to know more about functions and their parameters. Also it tells about different structures, enums defined in the file for specific purpose.

Print Pyramids and Diamonds Shapes in C Programming

So, here in this article I will demonstrate how you can print pyramids and diamonds using for loop and if condition using C Programming. Building a pyramid in c programming is quite easy, but you must have the understanding of how for loop works. With some slight modifications you can print different shapes as well.
