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 - 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

C Programming - 4.3 Header Files

Now, again see the first C program I wrote #include <stdio.h> int main() {      printf("I am a Programmer\n");      return 0; } Now, what #include <stdio.h> means actually  Here, stdio.h known as a Header file 😮, remember it's not studio.h 😜 . So many persons done that mistake when he/she first write C codes And, the coolest thing about header file is, it will give you a headache 😨 OK, I am just kidding  Header file term refers to that kind of file which contains C function declarations and macro definitions. A C header file contains .h extension. Like in this code stdio.h contains function declaration and definition of printf() that's why we had to include the  stdio.h  header file at the top of the code The basic syntax of including header files on top of the code #include <header_file_name> Now, you can wonder about printf() function, don't worry we will lea...

C Programming - 4.2 The main() function

The main() function is the entry 🔑 point of a C program Now look at the code what I wrote #include <stdio.h> int main() {      printf("I am a Programmer\n");      return 0; } OK, I wrote, int main() here "int" represents the Integer number is, an Integer number is a whole number not a fraction one like 1,2,0,10,55 etc. now, the question ❓ is- Why I wrote int main() We all know mathematical function right. for example :                         f(x) = bx+c this function  f(x)  has a return value, let's say it's Integer , then for C it is int C functions are quite similar to mathematical functions , the basic format of a C function is return_type function_name() { } by writing int main(), we indicate that this main() function will return an int number. that's ...
