written in a specific language, tell the computer what Programming is essential for creating software and
to do and how to do it. applications that we use daily.
History of Programming
1 Early Days
The first programs were written in the 1940s using
machine code.

2 High-Level Languages
The development of high-level languages like
FORTRAN and COBOL revolutionized programming.

3 Modern Era
Today, programming is used in every aspect of our
lives, from software development to artificial
intelligence.

Introduction to C Programming

Structured Programming Performance Hardware Control

C follows a structured programming C is a fast and efficient language, C provides direct control over
paradigm, which emphasizes making it suitable for resource- hardware resources, making it
modularity and organization. intensive applications. suitable for system programming
and embedded systems.
About C Programming
1 C was developed by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs in
the 1970s.

2 C became widely popular for its efficiency and

portability, influencing many other programming
languages.

3 C is still used today in various applications, from

operating systems to embedded systems.
Introduction to Coding and Syntax of C

1 2
Keywords Identifiers
Reserved words with specific meanings in the C language. Names given to variables, functions, and other program elements.

3 4
Operators Statements
Symbols that perform specific operations on data. Instructions that tell the computer what to do.
Basic Programming
Concepts
Variables
Variables are used to store data in a program, like
numbers, text, or logical values.

Data Types
Data types define the kind of data a variable can hold,
like integers, floating-point numbers, or characters.

Operators
Operators perform operations on variables and data, like
arithmetic, relational, and logical operators.
Control Structures
Conditional Statements
Used to execute different code blocks based on conditions, like if-else

statements.

Loops
2 Used to repeat a block of code multiple times, like for loops and
while loops.

Functions
3 Reusable blocks of code that perform specific tasks,
making code more organized and efficient.
