This repository contains my first C program, a classic exercise that prints the message "Hello, World!" to the console.
It serves as an introduction to the C programming language, helping me understand its syntax, compilation process, and basic structure.
The program uses:
- The standard input/output library
stdio.h - The
printf()function for terminal output
This simple project marks the beginning of my journey with C — a powerful and widely adopted language for developing operating systems, embedded software, games, and performance-critical applications.
