Introduction to C:
- C is a general-purpose programming language known for its simplicity, efficiency, and versatility. It was developed in 1970s by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs. C is famous for its low level programming capabilities.
- C is a procedural language. The programs are organized into functions that perform specific tasks.
- C does not support Object Oriented Programming.
- C is called the Mother of Languages as many programming languages are derived from C.
- If you are starting coding in 2024, C can be a good choice for you.
Applications
C is most widely used in :
- Game Development.
- Image Processing.
- Writing operating systems and low-level system softwares.
- Programming embedded systems.
- Networking and communication.
- DBMS components are written in C.
- Many Operating Systems are written in C.
Why to learn C?
- Simple : Syntax of C is simple which makes it relatively easy to read and understand.
- Access to hardware : C provides direct access to hardware, making it suitable for systems programming and developing operating systems.
- Portability : C programs can run on various platforms with minimal modifications.
- Efficiency : C allows for fine-grained control over memory and resources, making it highly efficient.
- Extensibility : You can extend C's functionality by creating your own libraries or using existing ones.
- Modularity : Programs can be divided into modules or functions, making it easier to maintain and debug code.
Syntax of C:
Syntax of C language is simple which makes it relatively easy to learn and read.
helloworld.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("Hello World!");
return 0;
}We will teach you of C language from basic to advance in this C tutorial.
You do not require any prior programming experience.
