Some may say this response is rude, but the reality is that it is not.
The best possible advice you can get in response to your questions is
Go and read a book.
If you cannot quite imagine entering a bookstore or a library :-), you
might start with the C FAQ. Find it by typing "C FAQ" into Google.
Start at question 6.14, but because you are a curious programmer you
will find it hard to resist reading the entire thing.
