? Introduction to C Programming Language

C is a powerful, efficient, and versatile general-purpose programming language that has stood the test of time. It was developed in the early 1970s by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs, and it became the foundation for many modern languages like C++, Java, Python, and Go.

? Why Learn C?

? Structure of a Basic C Program

c
#include <stdio.h>  // Header fileint main() {        // Entry point    printf("Hello, World!\n");  // Output    return 0;       // Exit code}

? What You Can Do with C

• Build operating systems (e.g., Linux kernel)

• Program microcontrollers and embedded devices

• Develop games, compilers, and system tools

• Write high-performance applications

?? Tools You Need

• A C compiler like gcc, clang, or Turbo C

• An IDE or text editor like VS Code, Code::Blocks, or even Notepad++

• Or use an online compiler like: OnlineGDB
