C

C is a general-purpose programming language created by Dennis Ritchie at the Bell Laboratories in 1972.

The C Programming course provides a strong foundation in one of the most influential programming languages, known for its power, efficiency, and flexibility. Throughout the course, you’ll explore core programming concepts such as data types, control structures, arrays, functions, pointers, structures, and file handling. Hands-on projects and practical assignments ensure a deep understanding of logic-building and problem-solving techniques, enabling you to write clean, efficient, and optimized code. Ideal for beginners and aspiring software developers, this course serves as a stepping stone towards mastering advanced programming concepts and exploring further technologies like embedded systems, software development, and application programming.
