Introduction to C Programming
C is a general-purpose, procedural programming language developed by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs in the early 1970s. It is widely used for system programming, embedded systems, operating systems, compilers, and application development.
Features of C
- Simple and efficient programming language.
- Supports structured and procedural programming.
- Provides low-level memory access through pointers.
- Portable across different platforms.
- Supports functions and modular programming.
- Provides a rich collection of operators and library functions.
Basic C Program
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("Hello, World!");
return 0;
}Explanation
- #include <stdio.h> includes the standard input/output library.
- main() is the starting point of program execution.
- printf() displays output on the screen.
- return 0; indicates successful program execution.
Key Points
- C is a procedural programming language.
- It is fast and memory efficient.
- C provides direct memory manipulation using pointers.
