What Is the C Programming Language?

 Programming in C is procedural and general-purpose.

Programming languages that take a methodical approach to problem resolution are known as procedural languages.

To carry out activities and achieve objectives, it makes use of a set of directives, sometimes referred to as functions or procedures, that are carried out in a particular order. The computer is instructed what to do and in what order step-by-step by these instructions.

Thus, C programs are broken down into more manageable, focused functions that each carry out a particular purpose and are run in a top-down manner, one after the other.

This encourages readability and maintainability of the code.
