So guys you are on
your 2nd tutorial now, which means that you have
chosen to learn C language. This tutorial has three phases. I will discuss each
of them in detail with you. So let’s start with the 1st one.
What is coding?
If we look at the
definition i.e. “ coding is the ability to write computer programs”. The
definition explains nothing at all, so I am going to explain you in simple
words. Coding is a way of communication with the computer. As we know that
computer is a dumb machine and it can not work properly until it is provided
with instructions. Instructions to the computer are provided using different
languages in order for it to do specific tasks.
We have different
options i.e. languages through which we can communicate through computer, some
of which are low level, that are closer to computer’s understanding i.e.
Machine language or C and some are high level that required more processing
time in order to transfer the commands or instructions to computer hardware
i.e. Python.
Programming or coding
is an act of telling the computer, what to do? Without it computer is useless.
Programming Languages makes it easier for us to communicate to computer because
they work as an intermediary language that both computers and humans can
understand.
In 2nd phase we are briefly going to cover the history of C.
History:
C language was
developed by Dennis Ritchie in 1972. At that time, he was working
at bell laboratories of AT&T. AT&T is an American multinational
conglomerate holding company. It wasn’t the first programming language as before
it B, BCPL were being used but there we a lot of problems related to those
language and they weren’t that much easier to use. After the introduction of C
in the tech industry, it soon got fame without any promotion or advertisement
of any sort and till now it is being used widely.
The third thing we
will be discussing in this tutorial is our Course and its designed.
Course Content:
This is a unique
course as this is specially designed keeping in mind the welfare of the viewer.
This course is going to help you the most if you see it in sequence as all of
the videos are designed in a way that will start you off from a beginner’s
level and take you to an expert level.
The starting topics
are easy and simple such as data types, operators, if else statements, etc. but
yet well explained as they are the basis of the language. Then we move on to
the intermediate topics such as Strings, Arrays or pointers and at the end we
will move towards the most advance topics such as File I/O or Function
Pointers, etc.
There are also a lot
of exercise included in these tutorials, so you might test your skills or
learnings and can also evaluate your performance.
Summary:
This course is going
to make you an expert level C programmer if you take it seriously and it is
also going to help you with other languages as C++, which is very much like C.
If you have learned C than you have learned about 60-70% C++. It will also help
you with Python as moving towards a simpler language is more easier.
