Introducing to C Programming

What is C?

C programming is a general-purpose and high-level Programming Language developed by Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson in 1972 at Bell Laboratories.

  • It is a Machine-independent, structured programming language.
  • C is the most popular language because it is a fundamental language of the computer science field.
  • C language is used to write the whole lot from operating systems Windows, UNIX, Linux, and many other operating systems.
  • Features of C are, It is portable, simple, efficient, standard library, low-level memory access, and structured programming concepts.

Why Should We Learn C?

  • If you understand "C', you can easily grasp the expertise of the other programming languages that use the concept of 'C'.
  • C is a very fast programming language compared to other programming languages like Python, java, etc.
  • It is the most popular programming language in the world.
  • C programming syntax is easy to learn and read.
  • C is a powerful programming language that allows developers to create advanced software systems.
  • C is perfect for creating operating systems, device drivers, and other software where speed and efficiency matter.
  • To create application software, such as spreadsheets and databases.
  • To create graphically linked applications such as computer and mobile game simulators.
  • C is known as a middle-level programming language because it blends high-level language features, like abstraction and portability, with low-level control and direct hardware manipulation similar to assembly language.
