INTRODUCTION TO C PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE

WHY YOU SHOULD LEARN C AS YOUR FIRST LANGUAGE?

C is powerful programming language that enables developers to create sophisticated software systems. The language is fast, efficient and easy to learn, making it a popular choice for many applications. c is also portable, meaning that programs written in c can be easily ported to other platforms.

HISTORY OF C

The C programming language was developed by Dennis Ritchie at the Bell laboratories in 1972. C is strongly associated with UNIX operating system, which at the time required applications to be written in assembly language, programmers needed a more use-friendly set of   instructions. Assembly programs, which communicate directly with a   computer's hardware, are lengthy and complex to debug, and adding     new functionality requires a lot of time and effort.

KEY FEATURES OF C

• C program syntax is easy to learn and read; this makes debugging code more accessible and faster.
• C programs are relatively short compared to other languages, which reduces the time needed to complete them.
• C is a powerful programming language that enables developers to create sophisticated software systems.
• The language is fast, efficient, and easy to learn, making it a popular choice for many applications.
• C is also portable, meaning that programs written in C can be easily ported to other platforms.
• C has been around for many years , so many libraries and tools are available that facilitate its use.
