C Language

This 45-day C Language course is designed to provide a strong foundation in programming logic and structure. Covering core concepts like data types, loops, functions, arrays, pointers, and file handling, the course is ideal for students, developers, and IT job aspirants looking to master the basics of programming.

The C language is a fundamental and powerful programming language developed by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Laboratories in 1972. It is considered the foundation of modern programming because many other languages (such as C++, Java, C#, etc.) were developed after C.

C is a procedural programming language, where programs are written as a series of step-by-step instructions. It is called a middle-level language. Because it combines features of both low-level (machine-level) and high-level (user-friendly) languages.

The C language is used in creating operating systems, compilers, embedded systems, databases, and various system software. It is fast, efficient, and reliable.

C includes basic concepts such as data types, variables, loops, functions, arrays, pointers, and structures. Due to the special capabilities of pointers, memory management in C is very powerful.

Learning C is very important for students because it helps them understand the fundamental concepts of programming and develop logical thinking skills.
