C programming is a great language  to learn for beginners because it helps you to understand how computers work, how they store and process information, and how to write fast and efficient code. In this blog post, I will show you: The basics of C language in simple terms. How and where to start from? What you need to start coding in C? The basic structure of a simple C program. How to compile and run your code? What happens next, with an example.
