why should we learn C?

You should learn C because:

* C is simple.
* There are only 32 keywords so C is very easy to master. Keywords are words that have special meaning in C language.
* C programs run faster than programs written in most other languages.
* C enables easy communication with computer hardware making it easy to write system programs such as compilers and interpreters.



Getting equipped to write C programs

The tools required for C programming are simple. All you need are:

1. A text editor: A text editor allows you to type in, modify, and save your program. Notepad in Windows, Edit in DOS, and vi and Emacs in Unix/Linux are some popular text editors.

2. A C compiler: A compiler is a program that converts the high-level language (HLL) program (referred to as source code) into machine language (object code). Borland C, GCC, and Microsoft C are some of the popular compilers.
