Introduction to Programming and C Language

● Why Programming
● History of C Language
● Your First Program
Why Learn Programming?

● Automates repetitive tasks.


● Solves complex problems efficiently.
● Forms the backbone of software development
and technology.
● Enables creativity and innovation in various
fields (AI, web development, games, etc.).
● High-demand skill in the modern job market.
A Brief History of C

● Developed by Dennis Ritchie in 1972 at Bell Labs.


● Evolved from earlier languages: B and BCPL.
● Initially created for system programming (UNIX
operating system).
● Widely used for: Operating systems. Embedded systems.
Application development.
● Influenced many modern languages like C++, Java, and
Python.
Why Choose C?
Features of C Language

● Simple and efficient.


● Structured programming.
● Low-level access to memory.
● Rich library of built-in functions.
● Portable and widely supported.
● Foundation for modern languages.
Your First Program – Hello World!

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("Hello, World!\n");
return 0;
}
Your First Program – Explanation

#include <stdio.h> #include <stdio.h>: Includes


standard input/output library.
int main() { int main(): Entry point of the
program.
printf("Hello, World!\n");
printf("Hello, World!\n");: Prints
return 0; "Hello, World!" to the console.

return 0;: Indicates successful


}
execution.
Steps to Run the Program

Compiling and Running the Program


1. Write the program in a text editor or IDE.
2. Save the file with a .c extension (e.g., hello.c).
3. Compile using a C compiler like GCC:

gcc hello.c -o hello

4. Run the compiled program:

./hello
Tips for Beginners

● Practice writing and running simple programs.


● Understand error messages during compilation.
● Explore the basic syntax and concepts (variables,
loops, etc.).
● Use an IDE for better debugging and visualization
(e.g., Code::Blocks, Dev-C++).
Summary

● Programming is essential for solving real-world


problems.
● C language is foundational, versatile, and efficient.
● "Hello, World!" is the traditional starting point for
learning any language.
