 From Unix and Windows to Tic Tac Toe and
Photoshop are built in C .
 GCC compiler
FEATURES OF C

 Portable, Extensible
 Built in functions and operators
 Structural language
 Modular programming language
 Compilation Execution is faster
 Case sensitive
 Platform dependent language
 Easy to learn-32 keywords
VARIABLES,CONSTANTS,
DATA TYPES
 Variable is a named memory location to store data.
 A constant is a name given to the variable whose
values can’t be altered.
