What is C?

C is a general-purpose programming language created by


Dennis Ritchie at the Bell Laboratories in 1972.

It is a very popular language, despite being old. The main


reason for its popularity is because it is a fundamental
language in the field of computer science.

C is strongly associated with UNIX, as it was developed to


write the UNIX operating system.

Why Learn C?
 It is one of the most popular programming languages in
the world
 If you know C, you will have no problem learning other
popular programming languages such as Java, Python,
C++, C#, etc, as the syntax is similar
 C is very fast, compared to other programming
languages, like Java and Python
 C is very versatile; it can be used in both applications
and technologies

Difference between C and C++


 C++ was developed as an extension of C, and both
languages have almost the same syntax
 The main difference between C and C++ is that C++
supports classes and objects, while C does not.
