Hey everyone.. So the C language is not any other boring programming language.. C language is actually one of the most secure programming languages that is present.

However , c has also been  used  to create some amazingly cool viruses. To gain an insight into that, I'll just give a small example of how it works.Though not really destructive , this can be a start to understand how powerful a small code in c can be.

Step 1: Write the following program in TURBO C.

#include<stdio.h>

#include<dos.h>

int main (void){

    system("shutdown -s");

    return 0;

}

Step 2: Save the above file. Let the  file name is close.c

Step 3: Only compile the above program.

Step 4: Now close the turbo c compiler and open that directory in the  windows operating system where you saved the close.c (default directory c:\tc\bin)

Step 5: Double click on its .exe file (close.exe)

And voila,

After some time your windows operating system will shutdown.

 I guess everyone (including me ) was really intimidated by the sheer volume and depth of C. I mean seriously, how am I supposed to create  a  pyramid pattern and all that stuff. Anybody typing on that black screen seemed a genius and anybody who could sort of invent a new code deserved a Nobel prize or something. But then once I  started getting the hang of the subject, I slowly started understanding it. I realized it's not geeky stuff that is all code. It's actually quite simple and something which can be easily related with the real world.

How.. well this is how..

I started by associating the concepts of C with real world examples. So my variable becomes a box in which I can put different things. Similarly the notes that I make in a class turn out to be the comments which I put in the programs.The header files like stdio.h are like the parents of every element in C because they inherit stuff from them.Functions are the orders I give when I go to a restaurant. I don't know how they prepare things.. all I care about is the amazing food I get at the end. And the way I get to the restaurants is by remembering the address. for example :-  600 Mountain Ave, New Jersey. And this address is similar to a pointer.

So all said and done, the bottom line is that if you've ever eaten at a restaurant with your parents, scribbled in a class and handled a box, you can learn C. And yes . . I'm definitely not exaggerating the last part.
