Introduction To C.
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).
