What is C language:
•C is mother language of all programming language.
•It is a popular computer programming language.
•It is procedure-oriented programming language.
•It is also called mid level programming language.

History of c language:
C programming language was developed in 1972 by
Dennis Ritchie at bell laboratories of
AT&T(American Telephone & Telegraph), located in
U.S.A.
Dennis Ritchie is known as founder of c language.
It was developed to be used in UNIX Operating
system.
It inherits many features of previous languages
such as B and BPCL.

Features of C Language:
There are many features of c language are given below.
• Machine Independent or Portable
• Mid-level programming language
• structured programming language
• Rich Library
• Memory Management
• Fast Speed
• Pointers
• Recursion
• Extensible

Data types in C language:
There are four types of data types in C language.
Types Data Types
Basic Data Type int, char, float, double
Derived Data Type array, pointer, structure, union
Enumeration Data Type enum
Void Data Type void

Keywords in C Language:
A keyword is a reserved word. You cannot use it as a variable name,
constant name etc.
There are 32 keywords in C language as given below:
auto break case char const continue default do
double else enum extern float for goto if
int long register return short signed sizeof static
struct switch typedef union unsigned void volatile while

Operators in C language:
There are following types of operators to perform different
types of operations in C language.
• Arithmetic Operators
• Relational Operators
• Shift Operators
• Logical Operators
• Bitwise Operators
• Ternary or Conditional Operators
• Assignment Operator
• Misc Operator

C if else statement:
There are many ways to use if statement in C language:
• If statement
• If-else statement
• If else-if ladder
• Nested if

if statement:
In if statement is used to execute the code if condition is true.
syntax:
if(expression){
//code to be execute
}

If else statement:
The if-else statement is used to execute the code if condition is
true or false.
Syntax:
if(expression){
//code to be executed if condition is true
}else{
//code to be executed if condition is false
}

C Switch Statement:
Syntax:
switch(expression){
case value1:
//code to be executed;
break; //optional
case value2:
//code to be executed;
break; //optional
default:
code to be executed if all cases are not matched;

Loops in C language:
Loops are used to execute a block of code or a part of program
of the program several times.
Types of loops in C language:
There are 3 types of loops in c language.
• do while
• while
• for

do-while loop in C:
It is better if you have to execute the code at least once.
Syntax:
do{
//code to be executed
}while(condition);

while loop in c language:-
It is better if number of iteration is not known by the user.
Syntax:
while(condition){
}

For loop in C language:
It is good if number of iteration is known by the user.
Syntax:
for(initialization;condition;incr/decr){
}

Functions in C language:
To perform any task, we can create function. A function can be
called many times. It provides modularity and code reusability.
Advantage of function:
• Code Resuability
• Code optimization

Array in C:
Array in C language is a collection or group of elements
(data). All the elements of array are homogeneous(similar). It
has contiguous memory location.
Declaration of array:
data_type array_name[array_size];
Types of array:
• 1-D Array
• 2-D Array

Advantage of array:
• Code Optimization
• Easy to traverse data
• Easy to sort data
• Random Access

Pointer in c language
• Pointer is a user defined data_type which create the special types of
variables.
• It can hold the address of primitive data type like int, char, float,
double or user define datatypes like function, pointer etc.
• it is used to retrieving strings, trees etc. and used with arrays,
structures and functions.

Advantage of pointer in c
• Pointer reduces the code and improves the performance.
• We can return multiple values from function using pointer.
• It make you able to access any memory location in the computer’s
memory.
