C Tutorial

This tutorial will teach you all about C programming from very basic for beginner to advance.

What is C ?

C is a programming language which was invented, first implemented by Dennis Ritchie on DEC PDP-11, used UNIX operating system.

C is a Middle-Level Language

C language is often called as a middle-level computer language. This doesn't mean that C is something weaker than other language. For your knowledge, C is much faster than other languages. You can use C to make your program running more faster.

C is a Structured Language

C is also referred as a structured language.

C is a Programmer's Language

C programming language was created, influenced, and field-tested by working programmers. C gives the programmer what the programmer wants: few restrictions, few complaints, stand-alone functions, block structure, and a compact set of keywords. By using C programming language, you can nearly achieve the efficiency of assembly code that combined with the structure of Pascal or Modula-2.

It is no wonder that C has now become the universal language of programmers around the world.

Here is a simple C program:

/* C Programming Tutorial */
      
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
   printf("C Tutorial at codescracker.com");
   printf("\n");
   getch();
}

The sample run of the above C program is shown here in this image:

Let's look at one more C program

/* C Programming Tutorial */
      
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
   char name[20];
   clrscr();
   printf("Enter Your Name: ");
   scanf("%s", name);
   printf("\nHey,\n%s", name);
   printf("!\nAre you ready to go?");
   printf("\n");
   getch();
}

The snapshot given below shows the sample run of above C program with user input James:
