C language has concepts such as variables, blocks, functions, operators etc. all other programming languages too have the same concepts but only syntax might differ in these languages. C language gives good foundation for learning other languages. for example if you know C you can learn other languages like PHP, Perl, C++, Java, C# in no time as you will be knowing core concepts of all programming languages if you know C. read less

Hi Shilpa, I have been learning coding\programming for past 6 years and i would suggest you to go for C first before learning other high level languages like c++,java,advance java etc. Just like you, even I had this question bothering me when i started learning coding. The reason why i say C first is because it will help you understand the basic concepts of datatypes, libraries, main functions and more importantly how the flow of program is. If you go for say java directly you will understand the language but may face issue in understanding the flow of program and need to learn basic concepts of programming. Learning C will make you understand the importance of JAVA, C++ and in which scenario you can use it. But again it also depends upon your passion and dedication towards learning and your grasping power.Programming is a wonderful field,so i recommend choose your interest and start ASAP. You can consider my profile for C and Java online training and i assure you with your interest and my teaching techniques you will be able to write your own code :) Nidz.java@gmail Thank You Nida read less
