Every great journey starts with a single step, and today, I took my first step into learning the C programming language! 🚀 As a beginner, I started with some simple yet essential programs to understand basic syntax, input, and output in C. In this blog, I’ll share my experience, the programs I wrote, and what I learned along the way.
Why C?
C is one of the oldest and most powerful programming languages. It serves as the foundation for many modern languages like C++, Java, and Python. Learning C helps build strong programming fundamentals, improves problem-solving skills, and understands how computers work at a lower level.
The First Programs I Wrote
To get familiar with C, I started with some simple mathematical programs. These helped me understand variables, data types, operators, and basic I/O (input/output) functions like printf() and scanf().
1. Calculating the Area of a Square
2. Calculating the Area of a Circle
3. Calculating the perimeter of a rectangle
4. Calculating the Cube of a Number
My first day of learning C was exciting! Writing these basic programs gave me confidence and helped me understand the core concepts of the language. I am looking forward to learning more about loops, functions, and arrays in the coming days.
Well done! You will go far; just be sure to not get stuck doing tutorials, and to start using code to solve problems and do things that are interesting from you! Making mistakes, then fixing them, is how you learn very quickly ::)
