? What is C Programming?
C is a powerful, efficient, and widely-used general-purpose programming language developed in the early 1970s by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs. It�s often called the "mother of all programming languages" because many modern languages like C++, Java, and Python are influenced by it.
? Key Features of C
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Fast & Efficient | Close to hardware, low-level memory access (like pointers) |
| Portable | Write once, compile anywhere |
| Procedural | Follows a top-down structured programming approach |
| Compiled | Needs a compiler to convert code into machine-readable format |
| Rich Library | Standard library functions for input/output, math, string handling, etc. |
? C Program Structure
#include
? What Can You Do With C?
