Introduction to C C is a general-purpose, procedural programming language developed by Dennis Ritchie in 1972 at Bell Laboratories. It is one of the most popular programming languages and is widely used for system programming, embedded systems, operating systems, game development, and application software. Features of C Simple and easy to learn Fast execution speed Portable (runs on different platforms) Structured programming language Rich set of built-in operators and functions Supports pointers for direct memory access Efficient memory management Extensible through libraries Applications of C Operating Systems (e.g., Unix/Linux) Embedded Systems Device Drivers Database Systems Compilers and Interpreters Networking Software Game Development System Utilities Advantages of C High performance Portable across platforms Easy to debug Supports modular programming Large standard library Foundation for learning other programming languages like C++, Java, and Python

#include <stdio.h>
 
int main()
{
    printf("Hello, World!");
    return 0;
