What is c?

The "C" is an imperative procedural language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope, and recursion, with a static type system. It was designed to be compiled to provide low-level memory access and language constructs that map efficiently to machine instructions, all with minimal runtime support. 

This language was created by Dennis Ritchie at the Bell Laboratories in 1972. Despite being an ancient language, it is still a very famous language. The main reason behind its popularity is that it is a fundamental language in the computer science field.  

The best part about learning the "C" language is that anyone can easily learn other programming languages such as Java, Python, C++, C#, etc, as the syntax of all these programming languages is similar.
