What is C Programming?

C is a computer programming language that has been around for decades. It’s one of thousands of languages that are currently used today. Acceptance of the C language is widespread – nearly all programmers begin with learning C because it provides them with the maximum amount of efficiency and control. It’s a natural programming language to learn, and it lays the groundwork for learning other programming languages.

 

Why Learn C Programming?

There are multiple reasons that it’s a great idea to learn C. First and foremost, it’s the best starting point for anyone who wants to learn to program. Some of the other reasons learning C is beneficial are:

• • It’s a base programming language – Learning C will help students learn other programming languages because it’s a base language. The C language shares some of the same concepts with other, more current languages, making it the best selection to start with.
• • It’s a structured programming language – The C programming language is divided into various modules that can each be written separately and together. This structure makes testing, maintaining, and debugging programs easier.
• • It’s very efficient – The C language contains various data types, 32 keywords, and some powerful “out-of-the-box” functions that make it extremely useful and efficient.
• • It’s extendable – C programming can extend itself. Features and functions can easily be added to the library, making complex programming easy to do.
• • It’s portable – The C programming language is portable, in that programs that are written in C can run on other computers. This feature is vital when an application needs to be run across platforms.

 

Who Should Learn to Code with C Programming?
