Introduction

Hello and welcome to the Code Insight. The following topics are covered in this Post:

Introduction to programming
Computer programs
Programming languages
C programming language
Who developed C language?

Let's start with the first.

What is programming?

Programming is the process of creating and developing computer programs.
It is the process of giving instructions to a computer.

Suppose you have a new formula and you want to enter a number and see the result on your computer. But since the formula is new, the computer doesn't know what to do. So you have to write your program.

What is a program?

A computer program is a sequence or set of instructions written in a programming language that a computer can execute.

In your case, give mathematical instructions like A + B = C. The computer then runs them and returns the results. But, how do you write the program? can computers understand your language?

No, here you need to understand what a programming language is.

Programming language

A programming language is a type of computer language that is used by programmers to communicate with computers.
It is a set of instructions written in a particular language (C, C++, Java, Python) to accomplish a specific task.

Why do we need programming languages?

A programming language is needed because computers cannot understand the language you speak. They only understand binary code. Don't worry if you don't know what the binary code means. I will explain in another post.

What is C language

C is a general-purpose computer programming language that can communicate with computers to achieve desired results.

Before we finish, I'd like to introduce you to a C developer.

C, a computer programming language..developed by American computer scientist Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs (formerly AT&T Bell Labs) in the early 1970s.

Thank you for choosing to learn programming with me.
