This document discusses the C programming language. It notes that C was developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Laboratories and is highly portable, being used in operating systems like Windows, UNIX, and Linux. C is a general-purpose language well-suited for enterprise applications, games, graphics programs, and applications involving calculations. The document also outlines how C programs are written in text files with a .c extension and edited using text editors, and how algorithms and flowcharts can help design C programs.

3. • Computational thinking is the ability to logically communicate your thoughts in a
structured manner.
• Computer languages teach us logical skills in thinking, processing, and
communicating.
• Combined with creative visions, some of the most influential products were
designed around a programming language.
• C programming language was developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie at bell
laboratories of AT&T (American Telephone & Telegraph), located in the U.S.A. C
is highly portable and is used for scripting system applications which form a
major part of Windows, UNIX, and Linux operating system.
• C is a general-purpose programming language and can efficiently work on
enterprise applications, games, graphics, and applications requiring calculations,
etc

4. C has now become a widely used professional language for various reasons :

6. C Programs
A C program can vary from 3 lines to millions of lines and it should be written
into one or more text files with extension ".c"; for example, hello.c. You can
use "vi", "vim" or any other text editor to write your C program into a file.
