I can't figure this one out

I've been trying to read a piece of sheet music and at the start it states that there are 3 sharps, C, F and G.

Ok that's no problem, but halfway through, there's a C with a natural sign by it. Does that mean that ONLY that C is a natural, or does it mean that every C is a natural from then on, until one has a sharp sign by it?

Same goes the other way around... there's a D with a sharp by it, and then a whole load more D's! Are they D sharp until stated otherwise, or just that one note?

Sorry to babble but I'm a noob at standard notation, and having trouble!!!

The accidentals remain in effect for the duration of the bar.

Excellent!

Thanks!

I'll try and continue with this damn piece of sheet music!!!

It does get easier, doesn't it?

The hard stuff will get easier, and get replaced by new hard stuff!

Thats whats fun about music. Or maybe I'm being sadistic..
