It is not a mandate, scripting languages are way more easier to learn. One can opt scripting languages but the granddaddy C has it footprint in almost all the languages.

Yes of course. But programming is moving towards a more GUI oriented approach but you must have understood the basic roles of various statements.

If you are a beginner then you can choose C or Python Programming language. But the essence of programming lies in solving problems rather than the programming language itself. Try to improve your problem solving skills in any language.

Why does execution of a program in C/C++/Java start from only main?
Main function is calling the other functions of he program and compiler gets this direction while Compiling the code. If it does not find main function then it will also not find the other functions in the code. So, main is required in C program.
