C

C, a foundational pillar in the realm of computer programming. Developed in the early 1970s by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs, it was designed to provide a powerful and flexible tool for system programming, offering low-level access to memory and hardware while maintaining a high degree of portability.

Features

• Compiled
• Statically typed
• Low-level control
• Efficient

Sample Program (Guessing Game)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main() {
    printf("Guess the number!\n");

    int secret_number = (rand() % 100) + 1;

    while (1) {
        printf("Please input your guess: ");

        int guess;
        scanf("%d", &guess);

        printf("You guessed: %d\n", guess);

        if (guess < secret_number) {
            printf("Too small!\n");
        } else if (guess > secret_number) {
            printf("Too big!\n");
        } else {
            printf("You win!\n");
            break;
        }
    }

    return 0;
