C Programming Tutorial for Beginners
C is an awesome programming language and it 's actually one of the oldest programming languages
around in fact. A lot of modern programming languages are based off of C so it is a really good idea if
you want to get into C or even if you 're trying to get. into something like C++ to learn the basics. In this
course, we 're gon na cover everything you need to know about the C programming language. We 're
gon na basically download and install a special program that will do that for us. So let 's get started I am
going to come over to my web browser and I 'm just gon na go up to the Google search bar. So just type
in Code blocks C. and this link should come up. This is an integrated development environment. In this
tutorial I 'm gon na talk to you guys about getting everything set up to start programming in C on OS X.
We 're actually going to use the text editor to write our C programs in and you can use any text editor
that you want to write C programs. In the next few tutorials we 're gon na be learning about setting up
code blocks writing our first C programs and really just getting started with C
You need to get that C. compiler working so once you run that Xcode select command just type in CC - V
again and You should be getting this version number Alright, so now that we have our C. compiler
installed What we want to do is download an. IDE So we. want to download a special text editor that we
can use to write our C programs in. We 're gon na be doing is creating a console application This is like
there 's a basic C project that you can run on your computer. That 's exactly what we need So click on
console application and then click go and I 'm just gon na click through this wizard and you 'll see over
here. It says C++ or C now C and C++ are both Different programming languages for this course. In this
tutorial I 'm going to talk to you guys about the basics of writing a program in C. The purpose of this
tutorial was just to get our C project set up and to test our main dot C file. We 're essentially telling code
blocks to run this file and execute the program So as long as everything works here and you 're good to
go and now we can start really learning how to program.
In C we can actually write out a bunch of instructions for the computer and then we can run our
program so we can tell the computer to Execute those programs. A method is just like a container where
we can put some of our code and this method main is very important because this is the method that 's
going to get executed when we run our programs. C is a set of instructions that when executed correctly
will result in the computer doing something for us. C is one of the best languages to program computers
to do anything with C. and run it just to see what Happened , you know ? see how your program did So
we have this option over here called build and run and this will both build your program and run. C is
really the only instruction that we know which is printf so why do n't we use this printf ? Instruction in
order to draw out a little shape onto the screen. As we go forward and we learn how to write in C We 're
gon na learn more and more complex instructions and we 'll be able to use all those instructions in
conjunction with each other.
