Introduction to C: Basics

This lecture introduces the C programming language, covering its history, variables, assignments, control structures, and procedures. Starting with the creation of C in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie, the lecture explains its concise syntax and suitability for microcontrollers. It delves into variable definitions, arithmetic operations, if statements, if...else constructs, loops like while and do...while, and the switch...case structure. The lecture also demonstrates the usage of break statements to exit loops and the main procedure as the entry point of a C program.
