Introduction to the language and its benefits

What is C? The C programming language was created by Dennis Ritchie, who worked with Ken Thompson to develop the Unix operating system. C is one of the most popular programming languages to date, and there are many resources available to learn it. This article will give you a short introduction to mastering this popular programming language.

Why learn C Programming?

C is a Middle-Level Language. The middle-level languages are somewhere between the Low-level machine-understandable assembly languages and High-Level user-friendly languages. Being a middle-level language, C reduces the gap between the low-level and high-level languages. It can be used for writing operating systems as well as doing application-level programming.
Helps to understand the fundamentals of Computer Theories. Most of the theories related to computers like Computer Networks, Compiler Designing, Computer Architecture, Operating Systems are based on the C programming language and require a good knowledge of C programming if you are working on them. In modern high-level languages, the machine-level details are hidden from the user, so in order to work with CPU cache, memory, network adapters, learning C programming is a must.
Fewer Libraries. C programming language has fewer libraries in comparison with other high-level languages. So, learning C programming also clears programming concepts to a great extent as you have to write a lot of things from scratch. You will not be dependent on the programming language entirely for implementing some basic operations and implementing them on your own will also help you to build your analytical skills.
C is very fast in terms of execution time. Programs written and compiled in C execute much faster than compared to any other programming language. C programming language is very fast in terms of execution as it does not have any additional processing overheads such as garbage collection or preventing memory leaks etc. The programmer must take care of these things on his own.
Embedded Programming. C is extensively used in Embedded Programming. Embedded Programming is also referred to as micro-controller programming, where the C program is used to control micro-controllers. Microcontrollers and embedded programming is widely used in auto-motives, Robotics, Hardware, etc.
C training can enhance your understanding of other languages, including C++, Java, and C#, by teaching you how your source code is interpreted by computers.
By taking "hands-on" training sessions "under the hood", you understand telecommunications, memory space, the CPU's architecture, and so forth. You will be able to create more effective programs and advantage over other programmers.
C has been recognized as the mother of every modern language since many other languages are built on it.
The C programming language was created over 40 years ago and is still extensively used today. Though it’s simple, it is a powerful language and is generally ranked among the 5 or 10 most popular and most widely-used languages in the world.
