Why Learn C Programming Language?
- In todays world if we are learning any programming language then we definately insure that the language
is stable in last 5 years and also have a good position in user stats
- Within few years C programming is going to celebrate its 50th birthday. In last 50 years C has performed
very well and also programmers love it by heart.
- C programming popularity has been increasing day by day and it will keep on increasing. It looks like
the scope of C programming will not end in near future.
- And according to Developer Survey Results 2019 C programming language is one of the top 10 languages
- C programming in software market is one of the most popular and demanding skills and if you know C
programming then your chances to get hire increases because C is fast, popular and easy to use. Yes C is
easy to use if you know some constructs
and know how to use those constructs and write a good programs so C is very powerfull.
Why C is so fast?
- Because in C programmers have many controls, programmer can manage its own memory.
- If programmer plan its logic and algorithm then he can be close to machine learning codes.
- If you will use the same logic in python then it will not work fast.
- So if you need speed then you should use C programming language.
- If you are making a game engine where you want that by pressing a button it do some actions then C
is used.
What are the things that are build in C
- Linux operating system, Windows OS, Mac OS
- MySQL database
- Ruby and Pearl programming languages
- First compiler of Java
- Apache and NGINX (related to web servers [to surf websites])
Reason? Because C is the lowest level portable language means - that with C we have so much controls
that we can reach to CPU instructions
More lowest language than C is assembly language but in assembly language coding is
very difficult
Some keywords that you will learn later CPU instructions, CPU
cycles
Some python libraries are written in C, So C is used to support other programming languages so that
they run faster.
If you know C programming than C++ will be very easy.
The one who does competitive programming they also use C or C++
C programming is used where we need to squeeze our performence more or want more performance out
of our programs in less time and with high accuracy.
