What is C programming?

C is a programming language that is both versatile and popular, allowing it to be used in a vast array of applications and technologies. It can, for example, be used to write the code for operating systems, much more complex programs and everything in between. Its simplicity and flexibility are largely because it can function independently of machines, which has lent itself to becoming one of the foundational programming languages in the industry.

Why is C programming so popular?

C is a highly efficient programming language that was initially developed to write operating systems. It has many features that make it flexible and easy to use. It has low-level access to memory, a clean and concise style and a simplistic set of keywords. The source code written using C for one system can work effectively on another operating system without experiencing any changes.

Benefits of learning C programming

As one of the foundational languages in programming, C is used more widely than other interpreted languages, such as PHP and Ruby. Learning C will time, but the benefits are worth the effort. Here are some of the primary advantages of learning C:

1.It will help you understand how a computer works

By learning C, you will be able to understand and visualize the inner workings of computer systems (like allocation and memory management), their architecture and the overall concepts that drive programming. As a programming language, C also allows you to write more complex and comprehensive programs. In turn, this teaches you how to write code that is exceedingly more efficient in C and other programming languages.

2.Almost all other programming languages can interface with it

A majority of high-level programming languages, such as JavaScript, Python and Java, can interface with the C programming language. In fact, when a program is written in C, the code can be executed and the program can be run on another computer. Additionally, C can be beneficial when communicating ideas and concepts in programming because of its universal nature. Regardless of whether the other person you are talking to knows C programming, you will still be able to find a way to clearly express your idea and make it easy to understand for them.

3.You will be able to work on open-source projects

Though many applications use various programming languages aside from C, most of those languages were developed using C. Therefore, by learning C, you can open yourself up to work on large, open-source projects, like making contributions to Python, which will impact millions of programmers worldwide.

4.It will be easier to learn other programming languages

Because so many programming languages are based on or related to C, your knowledge of C will simplify the process of learning other languages. These languages typically share similar syntax, operators, control statements, data types and more.

5.It is an efficient programming language

There are 32 keywords contained within C, along with built-in functions and data types. Additionally, C programs contain a library of functions that can be added to by users, allowing you to access all the features and functions at any point in the program. These attributes make C both efficient and simple to work with, especially when creating complex programs.

Though C was developed as a programming language for UNIX operating systems, it now has many compilers that allow it to be used across almost all hardware platforms and operating systems. When it was first beginning to become popular, the American National Standards Institute, also known as ANSI, found it necessary to create a commercial standard for the programming language. Since then, it has also been approved by the International Standards Organization and is now sometimes referred to as “ANSI C.”

Acquiring an understanding of C will help you learn a wide range of other programming languages that use C as their basis by borrowing the features and syntax of C, such as Java and C++.
