Introduction to C language
The C language is a foundational programming language that has influenced many modern languages. It’s known for its efficiency and control over system resources, making it a preferred choice for system programming and embedded systems. A well-structured C language course module can provide learners with the essential skills needed to excel in the field of programming.
