Computer Programming Lab

Computer programming in the C language is considered to be one of the fundamental labs in a student's life. Knowledge of a programming language is a must for an employable personality in the industry, engineering, finance, data analysis, or sports. The C language is one of the most popular programming languages due to its simplicity and easy-to-understand features and functions. Despite the prevalence of higher-level languages, C continues to empower the world. Popular modern-day operating systems and many programming languages are implemented using C. The importance of studying C in programming cannot be understated. C is a very picky language, students are forced to develop good programming practices, and they will get a strong understanding of many fundamental concepts. Combining that with some Object-Oriented understanding, students can do pretty much everything while studying C programming.
