Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed modern education by enabling adaptive and personalized learning experiences. Programming, one of the most essential skills in computer science, continues to pose challenges to beginners due to the technical nature of compiler errors and complex syntax understanding. Traditional compilers detect errors but fail to explain them in learner-friendly language. To address this issue, SmartC Professor is proposed — an AI-driven tutoring system designed to enhance learning in C programming. The system integrates compiler analysis with Natural Language Processing (NLP) to generate intelligent, human-readable feedback and explanations. It also features an AI chatbot that answers conceptual C programming questions. Implemented using Python’s Flask framework, GCC compiler, and NLP algorithms like TF–IDF and Cosine Similarity, the system provides real-time guidance to students. Results demonstrate that SmartC Professor improves students’ understanding, reduces debugging time, and fosters independent learning.
