Introduction to C

Introduction To C 

C is a general-purpose, procedural programming language developed by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Laboratories in 1972. It is often referred to as a "middle-level" language because it combines elements of both high-level languages (like Python or Java) and low-level languages (like assembly language), 

Features of C language 

     Feature                                                                           Description

 Simple & Powerful Easy to learn, yet allows low-level memory access

 Low-level Access Can interact directly with hardware and memory (pointers, etc.)

 Structured Language Uses functions, loops, conditionals to build structured code

  Portable                                                                                        C programs can run on different machines with little modification

 Efficient Produces fast and compact machine code

 Compiled Language                                                                    Needs a compiler (e.g., GCC, Turbo C) to turn source code into executable
