 Overview of C Language:


C is a general-purpose, procedural programming language developed in the early 1970s by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs. It is one of the oldest and most widely used programming languages, serving as the foundation for many modern languages like C++, Java, and Python.


Key Features of C:


1. Procedural Programming:

C is a procedural language, meaning it focuses on functions and the sequence of instructions to solve problems.

2. Portability:

Code written in C can run on different machines with minimal modification, making it highly portable.

3. Low-Level Access:

C provides low-level memory access, allowing programmers to work with hardware more directly, which is ideal for system programming.

4. Speed and Efficiency:

Programs written in C are fast and efficient because it is closer to machine language.

5. Rich Standard Library:

C offers a variety of built-in functions for tasks like input/output, string handling, and memory management.

6. Flexibility:

C allows direct manipulation of hardware through pointers and bitwise operations, offering maximum control to programmers.
