Getting Started With C Programming

What is C?

C is a general-purpose, procedural, middle-level programming language developed in 1972 by Dennis M. Ritchie at the Bell Telephone Laboratories to develop the UNIX operating system.

Where C is used?

C programming language is used in the following areas:-

  1. Operating System Design,
  2. Compiler Design,
  3. Text Editors,
  4. Handling Database,
  5. Interpreter, and many more.

Why learn C?

  1. Easy to learn
  2. It is well structured.
  3. It's syntax is similar to Java(if you're a Java programmer, then you'll understand).
  4. It can handle low-level activities.

Today we're gonna learn how to print hello world using C.

Source Code:-

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    printf("Hello World");
    return 0;
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Output:-

Hello World
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

So, this was pretty cool and simple.

You forgot the \n.

You don't explain anything, so it's not terribly useful.

Sorry, it was just an example for my YT videos like how to write blogs. I'm correcting everything and will write in a good way. I know I have missed many things here.
Till then kindly check out my other blogs and my YT channel:- bit.ly/3Hna0fq
