C programming

The C programming language was created by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs in 1970. It is a powerful, general-purpose, and procedural language. The basis of many modern languages, C is widely known for its efficiency. Low-level memory management and simplicity make it easy to program the system. Ideal for embedded systems and applications that require high performance. Key features of C: 1. Structured Languages: Supports structured programming by organizing C code into blocks (functions) and promotes readability and maintainability through the use of control structures such as loops and conditions. 2. Low Level Management: Allows direct memory access via the C pointer, allowing fine-grained control of memory and hardware. which is required for system level programming... 3. Efficient and fast: C is highly efficient. It has minimal runtime. This makes it ideal for performance-intensive applications such as operating systems and embedded systems... 4. Variety of libraries: Though sparse compared to modern languages, C has a standard library which includes functions for performing input/output operations. memory management and string manipulation... 5. Portability: Code written in C is easily portable. Because C compilers are available on almost every platform. It makes it possible to compile C programs and run them on different systems with minimal changes... Basic concepts in c: - Variables and data types: C supports basic data types such as `int`, `float`, `char` and more complex types such as arrays, structures, and pointers. -Functions: Use functions to modularize C code, allowing for reuse. and organize better -Pointers: Pointers are unique to C. Pointers allow memory address manipulation. Enables powerful features such as dynamic memory allocation and b-transmission.
