Introduction to C Programming
WHAT IS C PROGRAMMING?
C programming is a general-purpose, procedural programming
language developed in the early 1970s by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs.
It’ s one of the oldest and most widely used languages in software
development, known for its efficiency and control over system
resources. It’s often used for developing system software like
operating systems, embedded systems, and applications that require
high performance.
WHAT ARE FEATURES OF C PROGRAMMING?
There are 4 key features of C programming:
- Low-level access to memory
- Portability
- Efficiency
- Rich Library Support
1. LOW-LEVEL ACCESS TO MEMORY
C provides the ability to manipulate memory directly, allowing developers more control over how resources are used.
2. PORTABILITY
C code can be compiled on any machine that has a C compiler, making it highly portable.
3. EFFICIENCY
C is known for producing efficient machine code, making it suitable for performance-critical applications.
4. RICH LIBRARY SUPPORT
C provides a rich set of standard libraries that simplify common tasks like input/output and string manipulation.
STRUCTURE OF C PROGRAM:
#include //#include is preprocessor which is used to include header files
//Main function (First function which is going to be executed in C
int main()
{
printf("Welcome to Intelle learn - Your ultimate source for learning!!"); //Output function to display
return 0; //Exit status of program
}
OUTPUT
Welcome to Intelle learn - Your ultimate source for learning!!
