C Programming - 1. Intro

Hi Everyone, In this series, we will be learning C Programming.

So,

What is Programming actually?

Programming is the most amazing thing in this modern era. Programming is the way to teach the dummy computer what to do because a computer only understands 1's and 0's nothing else.

And the combination of a 1's and 0's make a binary number, we all know that.

Example: 1001000 1000101 1001100 1001100 1001111

Now, what this binary code says?

It says "HELLO" 😮.

It's cool right. One day I will teach you how to do this, then you can encoded cool messages or you can use it to propose someone 😉.

Anyway, Now you can wonder what the heck is that I can play games like Far Cry 4 or Witcher 3 that seems pretty Advanced.


OK, thanks to those programmers who find a way to do all those great things by the dummy computer. But, remember not only the games, think about your Android or iOS device, how cool is that. And the social networks like Facebook, Whatsapp, Snapchat they are all fruits of the big tree named Programming.


In 1843, Ada Lovelance published an algorithm to calculate a sequence of Bernoulli numbers, intended to be carried by Charles Babbage's analytical engine. This is considered as the first computer program. She(Ada Lovelance) was an English mathematician and writer.

After that, in these many years programming has developed a lot. So, many programming languages have come like C, C++, C#, Java, Python, Ruby

But, we will be learning C
And, in my personal opinion C is a better language to start with.


There are more reasons, to begin with, C programming, first like-

  • For improving problem-solving skill, C is always a better choice. 
  • After learning C, C like languages will be easier for you. for example C++, C#, Java
  •  When core programming is involved then C is better than anyone.
  •  C is often called mother language of programming.


So,

What is C programming language?


C programming is a general-purpose programming language, supporting structural programming and recursion.

In 1972 Dennis Ritchie first introduced C programming Language to the world.

Yeah, now you can say that it is too old. Despite being too old C language is highly efficient and cross-platform supported.

For this reason, it is widely used in  application development and for fields like system programming and socket programming C is the first choice of programmers

C Programming - 3. Bits & Bytes

Bits Bits means the measurement of computer memory where we can store binary number or word. N-bits memory can store n-bits binary number or words for example :          1-bit memory can store either  1 or 0 because 1 and 0 are 1-bit binary numbers          2-bit memory can store:                                                   00                                                   01                   ...

C Programming - 4.5 The printf() function

We have been talking about this guy for so long and he finally came And you will see him most of the time whenever you write a C code. So, What printf() function do? It basically prints everything within the double quotation . for example: printf("I am a programmer"); this prints:                     I am a Programmer In full code that will be- #include <stdio.h> int main() {      printf("I am a Programmer");      return 0; } Now, see another code  #include <stdio.h> int main() {      printf("I am a Programmer");      printf("I am a Programmer");      return 0; } the output will be:          I am a ProgrammerI am a Programmer The output is like this because we haven't use newline character to indicate the en...

C Programming - 4.1 First C program

First C program #include <stdio.h> int main() {      printf("I am a Programmer\n");      return 0; } Output:                    I am a Programmer In the next tutorials, we will understand this code point by point. Semicolon Issue we have to remember one important thing always end of every statement in C we have to put a semicolon From the first code, there are two statements        printf("I am a Programmer\n");        return 0; and both of them have a semicolon at the end of the line or statement Some people find this annoying 😒 but like it or  not we have to be careful about this Happy Coding See you in next tutorial Next Post: https://coderavens.blogspot.com/2018/05/c-programming-42-main-function.html
