Importance of C programming

C is a middle-level programming language that bridges the gap between machine-level and high-level programming, making it foundational in computer science. Its major advantages include portability, low-level memory access, and efficiency, especially in system and embedded programming. C follows a procedural programming paradigm and is popular due to its fast performance and simple syntax.
