Overview Of C Language

C Overview

C is a general purpose high-level language
Developed by Dennis Ritchie
C is a compiled language,it converts the code into machine language
It's provides faster processing, it is a middle-level & compiled language
When we wrote after the c code save text file name with exetension (".c").
For example:- Hello.c means , here Hello file name and .c is this file extention("This indicates it a c language file)

Structure

C Language basically consists of this type

Here is the simple example for this:-

Example

#include <stdio.h>
 int main() 
   { 
   
    printf("Hello World!");
    
       return 0; 
    }

OutPut

Hello World!

How it's working

#include is a Preprocessor command , it tells compiler before going to actual compilation
int main() { is the main function where program start execution
/* ....... */ this is comment we can add any thing inside compiler ignores.
printf("......"); is another function in C , it display the output inside writtend data
/nits means the code/data jumpping another line, if we not used this the code/data display in one line
} return 0; terminates the main function & return the value 0
