The document provides an introduction to the C programming language by: 1) Explaining that C is a general-purpose programming language developed in 1972 that is still widely used, particularly for operating systems and applications. 2) Stating that to program in C, a programmer needs a text editor to write code and a compiler to translate it into a format the computer can understand. 3) Recommending using an integrated development environment (IDE) like Code::Blocks that combines an editor and compiler functionality for increased efficiency.

2. Learn C
C is a general-purpose programming language,
developed in 1972, and still quite popular.
C is very powerful; it has been used to develop
operating systems, databases, applications, etc.

4. What is C?
C is a general-purpose programming language
created by Dennis Ritchie at the Bell Laboratories in 1972.
It is a very popular language, despite being old.
C is strongly associated with UNIX, as it was
developed to write the UNIX operating system.

5. Why Learn C?
It is one of the most popular programming language
in the world
If you know C, you will have no problem learning
other popular programming languages such as Java,
Python, C++, C#, etc, as the syntax is similar
C is very fast, compared to other programming
languages, like java and Python.
C is very versatile; it can be used in both
applications and technologies

6. Structure of C Program
Header #include <stdio.h>
main()
int main ()
{
Variable
Declaration
int a = 10;
Body print(“%d”,a);
Return
return ();
}

7. Get Started With C
To start using C, you need two things:
A text editor, like Notepad, to write C code
A compiler, like GCC, to translate the C code into a
language that the computer will understand
*There are many text editors and compilers to choose
from. In this tutorial, we will use an IDE integrated
development environment

8. What is a IDE code?
An integrated development environment (IDE) is a
software application that helps programmers develop
software code efficiently. It increases developer
productivity by combining capabilities such as software
editing, building, testing, and packaging in an easy-to-use
application.
Mr. V.Veeranan, B.Sc. Computer Science, Dip. in Yoga

9. C Install IDE
An IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is
used to edit AND compile the code.
Popular IDE's include Code::Blocks, Eclipse, and
Visual Studio. These are all free, and they can be used to
both edit and debug C code.
Note: Web-based IDE's can work as well, but
functionality is limited.
We will use Code::Blocks in our tutorial, which we
believe is a good place to start.

10. C Quick Start
Let's create our first C file.
Open Code blocks and go to File > New > Empty
File.

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