First off, the first I want to tell you that C isn't complicated. It's your mind telling you that it is.

I'm guessing you came here because you're new to C or just got introduced to it. Well, don't worry as I am here to help. And if you're learning this while in the University(Like me), C is only temporary, you don't have to study all of it(but if you wish to, that's totally fine). C is the ideal language to learn to get into the world of Programming.

And a quick reminder, I'm sure you must have heard this a couple of times. "The key to mastering anything is consistency".

Guys, I can't stress this concept enough. To get at good at programming, you need to be consistent.

So, with that said, let's get started.

The first question we're going to answer is:

• What is C?

C is a general-purpose programming language and it is very old but still used widely to this day. It is also a 3GL(Third Generation Language).

To get started with C, you will need a text editor like Pelles C to write C code. There are many text editors to choose from; in this case, we call them IDE (Integrated Development Environment).

• Why Learn C?

1. It will open your mind to the world of programming.

2. It is one of the most widely used programming languages.

3. It will open your mind to the world of programming.

4. It is one of the most widely used programming languages.
5. C is very fast compared to other programming languages.
6. If you know C, then learning any other programming language will be easy for you.
