Define C language in detail

 C Language is a powerful, general-purpose, and high-performance programming language developed by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs in 1972. It is widely used for system programming, operating systems (like UNIX), embedded systems, and creating fast applications.

⭐ Features of C Language

1. Simple and Efficient
   Easy syntax and fast execution.

2. Structured Programming Language
   Supports functions, loops, and modular code.

3. Portable
   C programs can run on different platforms with little modification.

4. Fast and Powerful
   Close to hardware; used in system development.

5. Rich Library
   Contains many built-in functions for faster development.

6. Memory Management
   Supports pointers for direct memory access.

7. Middle-Level Language
   Combines both high-level and low-level features.

⭐ Basic Structure of a C Program

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

Explanation:

• #include <stdio.h> → Header file

• main() → Entry point of the program

• printf() → Function to print output

• return 0; → Ends the program
