What is C?

C is a programming language developed AT Bell laboratories of USA in 1972. It was designed and written by Dennis Ritchie. C become popular because it is reliable, simple and technologies emerge and really good. 

An opinion that is that is often heard today is " C has been already superseded by language like C, C# or Java. There are several reasons for this. There are as follows:-

• C++, C# or Java make use of a principle called object oriented programming (OOP) to organize the program,You would still need a good hold over the language elements of C and the basic programming skills. So it make more sense to first learn C and then migrate to C++, C#, Java . Though this two-step learning process may take more time, but at the end of it, you will definitely find it worth the trouble.
• Major part of popular operating systems like Window, Linux, UNIX, etc. and android are written in C. moreover, if one is to extend the operating systems to work with new devices, one needs to write device driver programs are written exclusively in C.

Getting Started with C

There is a close analogy between learning English language and learning c language. While leaning English, we first learn alphabet and digits, then learn to combine them to from words and numbers, which, in turn, are combined to from sentences and sentences are combined to from paragraphs.

While learning C, We first learn alphabets, digits and special symbols. Then we learn how to combine them to from constants, variables, and keywords, and finally, how to combine them to from an instructions. A group of instructions can then be combined to program.
