Before moving to why we need to learn the C programming language, Let’s us briefly discuss the history of C language.
C was created by Dennis Ritchie at the Bell Telephone laboratories in 1972. From the beginning, it was useful for programmers to get things done.
Ok. Let’s move to the main topic again. Why we need to use C. There are a lot of high-level programming languages such as C, Perl, PHP, Java, etc. All of these languages are used to do different tasks. But among them, C is important.
- C is a powerful and flexible language. C language has no limitations. C is used to build operating systems, word processors, and many advanced software.
- C is a popular programming language. So there are many resources to learn and get help.
- C is a portable language. It means a C program written in one computer system can be compiled and run in another system with little or no modification.
- C only has a few keywords. So it is easy to use. You might think it is not powerful because of the number of keywords, but You can do any task with C.
- C is modular. You can use functions to write code and reuse them in other applications and programs.
