What is c programming?

Question

on top of that i'd like to know, would it be the same as programming in python with scripts? Could you recommend any sites to help me learn python scrippting or c ?

Answer 1

C was developed at Bell Labs in 1972 and is a a compiled language little different from Python and other scripting languages.  A C program must be "compliled" or turned into something the computer understands (an executable code object), which is then run.

Python and scripted languages are interpreted languages, which means that the script you write is turned into something the computer understands every time it runs.  That has the advantage of not needing compilation, but overall can run slower than a compiled program.

You might be best off learning Python.  C is still used for some applications, but Python is widely used for web development and modern computers are fast enough interpreted languages for most situations.  C fell out of favor for most applications in the 1990's when C++ came along.

There are plenty of beginner level Python books to get you started:

You can start learning C++ with these video tutorials:

They are perfect for beginners. This one can get you started by showing you how to install a free compiler:

Here are some simple games with code downloads that you can use to get some ideas:

These tutorials can get you started with graphics programming in OpenGL:

You can go through the tutorials and if you have questions on them or anything else in C++, please post to me here:

Best of luck!

Answer 4

C programming a basic programming language that includes the very fundumentals of programming.  It was used to create the C++ language, a more advanced and more widely used programming language.  If you want to learn the basics then you can go to:

Really if you want to learn programming be prepared to spend alot of time studying the language cause it takes alot of time and energy.  If you're not prepared for that then I wouldn't even start learning it.
