C Programing

C is one of the most widely used and user friendly programming language. It is faster than any other programming language. The main features of C language are simple set of keywords, low-level access to memory and clean style.

Learning C programming has lot of advantages:

• You will be able to read and write codes for a large no. of platforms varying for micro controllers to advanced scientific systems.
• If you learn C, learning C ++ becomes easier.
