468 PointsLearning C
I am just now starting C and none of the tutorials I watch make any sense! They all use terms I don't understand. Does anyone know of a good place to start learning C? I would like to learn it so it will make other languages easier to learn. Plus, it is used in Objective C and I want to make an iOS app. I am not doing well on the build a simple app project in the library.i have never used C before, only some HTML.

468 PointsI do not understand integers with the int and what "main" is in int main. Also I do not understand what the #include means and what studio.h is. Is it a file that has already been made, or do i have to make it later? What kind of command is a return and why doesn't it have some kind of symbol to define it? It just kind of seems to be out there on its own line. What would happen if you had a return 1 instead of 0? Plus, when would you use curly braces?

5,555 PointsWhat are the terms you don't understand? Also, HTML is a markup language, not a programming language so knowing anything about HTML doesn't really help with programming.
