Why People Learn C programming and Why do Colleges teach them?
1)C/C++ Powers the World
2)C Builds A Strong Foundation Of Programming
Nowadays it’s widely stated that a working hour of a programmer is more expensive than a memory upgrade or a high-powered CPU. But for me the size of a program and its speed are the things that make a difference.You can easily write a C program that runs slower than programs written in other languages that do the same job. The reason why C is faster is because it is designed in this way. It lets you do a lot of "lower level" stuff that helps the compiler to optimize the code.
4)C Will Train You To Be A Disciplined Programmer
5)Minimal Distractions
6)C Is Versatile
I had this question in my mind and many of the engineering students have so I did some research and found the answer.
1)C/C++ Powers the World
C/C++ is everywhere. In particular, they power more technologies than we give it credit for.Most operating system kernels are written in C, including but not limited to Windows, Linux, Mac, iOS, Android and so on.Modern browsers are also written in C/C++. like Chrome, Firefox etc.Modern game engines are written in C/C++, like Unity3D, Unreal Engine, cocos2d-x etc.As mentioned above, programming languages compilers and interpreters are implemented in C/C++ too.
C is also Known as beginners programming Language.It helps you to understand the basics of programming in a better way.As a middle-level language, C is always viewed as the perfect foundation of programming. This explains why some people tend to call it a core language. This is because it is much closer to the compilers operating the system and even interpreters. This means that you will not just learn how to program. Instead, you will line how that program is executed on a computer. You will understand the essentials of programming such as memory mapping.
3)Nothing can beat C in speed
Nowadays it’s widely stated that a working hour of a programmer is more expensive than a memory upgrade or a high-powered CPU. But for me the size of a program and its speed are the things that make a difference.You can easily write a C program that runs slower than programs written in other languages that do the same job. The reason why C is faster is because it is designed in this way. It lets you do a lot of "lower level" stuff that helps the compiler to optimize the code.
4)C Will Train You To Be A Disciplined Programmer
With very few libraries and frameworks to utilize, you will have no other option but to code everything manually. As there are very few libraries we will be thinking the logic and fully writing the code on our own.After learning C when we try to learn other programming language it will be very easy for us.
5)Minimal Distractions
C language will force you to stick to procedural programming. You won't be distracted by various concepts of object-oriented programming such as inheritance. Although OOP has its critical role to play, you will be better off if you start with procedural. Once you are good at it, you will have an easy time learning object-oriented programming.
6)C Is Versatile
Another reason why a programmer should learn C is its versatility. With C you can literally survive anywhere. The language is not limited by the operating system, compilers drivers. This is because of its ability to interact directly with the system resources.It makes you highly active when you are writing programs it just triggers your brain.C is a secret behind Active Programmer.
