What is C?
Video Lecture
If you have the bandwidth, you can watch the next video to learn about C. This film is only 1:50 long, it has no ads and is very informative for beginners. It was filmed by Elucian Moise in April 17/2022. If you like this video, share it and press thumb up so others can find it.
Learning C
In the next tutorial you will learn syntax of C language (not C++). We organize pages in logical order to learn basic concepts of programming. On each page there is a link at the bottom to read next page. On top-right of every page there is an index link. You can use this index if you wish to jump to a particular page. If you are first time here, ignore the index for now and continue reading.

Run C Examples
For learning C we use our favorite website. That can run almost any language, for free. I prefer to use this website to store examples for your training. You do not need to install a C compiler on your computer. You can log-in using your personal GitHub account and you can create new examples.

C language do not have a home page of its own. It seams Bell-Labs has gifted its programming languages to the world and is doing other things. I have search the internet to collect best documentation without ads. Here is what I have found:
C-lang
- Bell-Labs: Dennis Ritchie
- e-book C language
- GNU C Reference Manual
- LLVM C-Lang Manual
- Wikipedia C language
C++
This tutorial do not covers C++ syntax. Maybe you are in the wrong place. C and C++ are different languages. If you can't decide now, you can learn C and then C++. Some of the knowledge is transferable.
