What is C?

C is a general-purpose, high-level programming language developed in the 1970s, known for its efficiency and low-level access to memory. It supports procedural programming, is portable across different platforms, and is widely used for system programming and application development.

Why should learn C?

C is often referred to as a "mother" language because many programming languages (like C++, Java, and Python) have borrowed syntax and concepts from it. Learning C can provide a solid grounding in programming principles.

Learning Outcome.

Learning C programming provides a strong foundation in key programming concepts like variables, data types, control structures, and functions. It enhances proficiency in C syntax, enabling effective code reading, writing, and debugging. A key outcome is the ability to manage memory with pointers, improving resource management. Learners develop problem-solving skills through algorithm creation and gain experience with fundamental data structures such as arrays and linked lists. Understanding low-level programming concepts fosters insight into software-hardware interactions. Mastering C also prepares individuals for other languages and opens diverse career opportunities in software development and systems programming, empowering them to build real-world applications and gain practical experience.
