Introduction To C Language

This presentation provides an overview of the C programming language, covering its history, syntax, and fundamental concepts such as data types, operators, control structures, and functions. Developed in the 1970s at Bell Labs, C has become a foundational language for system programming and is widely used in operating systems. A hands-on demonstration of a simple C program illustrates the application of these concepts.
