C is the most widely used computer language.
The main features of the C language include low-level memory access, a simple set of keywords and a clean style, these features make the C language suitable for programming systems such as operating system or compiler development.

Why learn C programming?

The C programming language is ESSENTIAL for students and working professionals to become a great software engineer, especially when working in the software development domain.

I'm going to list some of the key benefits of learning C programming:
  • Easy to learn.
  • Structured language.
  • It produces efficient programs.
  • It can handle low-level activities.
  • It can be compiled on a variety of computer platforms.

Facts about C :
  • C was invented to write an operating system called UNIX.
  • C is a successor to the B language that was introduced in the early 1970s.
  • The language was formalized in 1988 by the American National Standard Institute (ANSI).
  • The UNIX operating system was entirely written in C.
  • Today C is the most used and popular system programming language.
  • Most of the latest generation software has been implemented using C.
  • Today's most popular MySQL Linux and RDBMS operating systems have been written in C.

"Hello World" using Programming C :

Just to give you a little bit of excitement about C programming, I'm going to give you a little conventional Hello World programming.

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
   printf("Hello, World..!");
   
   return 0;
}


Applications of C Programming :

C was initially used for system development work, particularly the programs that make up the operating system.
C was adopted as a system development language because it produces code that runs almost as fast as code written in assembly language. 

Some examples of the use of C are:
  • Operating Systems
  • Language Compilers
  • Assemblers
  • Text Editors
  • Print Spoolers
  • Network Drivers
  • Modern Programs
  • Databases
  • Language Interpreters
  • Utilities
