C Programming Language Tutorial


Last Updated : 06 Jan, 2025



C is a general-purpose, procedural, and middle-level programming
language used for developing computer software, system
programming, applications, games, and more. Known for its
simplicity and efficiency, C is an excellent choice for beginners as it
provides a strong foundation in programming concepts. C was
developed by Dennis M. Ritchie at Bell Laboratories in 1972. Initially, it
was created for programming the UNIX operating system.
 Bridges the gap between low-level programming (closer to
hardware and machine code) and high-level
programming (closer to human-readable code).
 Referred as the "mother of all programming
languages" because it influenced many modern programming
languages likeC++,Java,PythonandGo.
 C programs are platform-independent i.e. code can be
compiled and run on different systems with minimal
modifications.
 Does not require heavy runtime environments or libraries,
making it ideal for low-resource systems.
Hello World Program

Output
Hello World!
In this C tutorial, we’ll cover everything from basic syntax, data
types, and control structures to advanced
topics like pointers, memory management, and file handling. By
the end, you’ll gain hands-on experience and a solid understanding of
C, which is essential for mastering other programming languages
like C++ and Java. Let’s dive into the world of C programming and
build a strong coding foundation!
