Is C is easy to learn?
Yes, C is very easy to learn. Most of the peoples who enter programming field will start their programming journey with C because of its easiness. And also if you learned C, you can easily learn other programming languages on the go.

Is learning C is worth?
Yes. As I said before most of the big software giants like Microsoft, Apple, and Oracle are using C as their main programming language. So there are lots of opportunities for C developers. It is worth to learn C.

C Basics:
1. C program need a compiler to compile and run.
2. You need to save C program as name.c.
3. Include header file before writing program.
4. Every C program should have main() function.
