C is an old but powerful computer programming language. It’s used a lot by computer programmers to make things like games, websites, programs for phones, and apps for computers. It’s especially known for how fast it works and how it helps computer programs run quickly. To create programs with C, you need to know how to tell it what to do, just like talking to someone. Computer programmers use something called "code" to talk to the computer and tell it what to do. C code looks like a secret language but it’s really just a bunch of letters, numbers, and symbols put together.
