C PROGRAMMING
1. Introduction to C Programming
•What is C?
C is a low-level structured
programming language that
offers efficiency, control over
hardware, and flexibility for
application development.
•Key features
Simple and Efficient: C has a
relatively simple syntax and gives
fine control over system
resources.
Portability: C programs can be
compiled and run on different
,machines with minimal
modifications.
Low-Level Access: Provides
access to hardware through
pointers and memory
management.
Modularity: Supports structured
programming with functions and
code modularity.
2. Setting up the Development
Environment
Install a C Compiler:
Windows: Use MinGW or TDM-
GCC compilers.
, Linux: Install GCC (sudo apt
install gcc).
MacOS: Install Xcode or GCC
(brew install gcc).
Text Editors/IDEs:
Code::Blocks
Visual Studio Code
Eclipse
CLion
Running a C Program:
Write code in a file with a .c
extension.
Compile the file using a C
compiler: gcc program.c -o
