As a novice, learning C can be difficult because it forces you to learn both the fundamentals of programming and the confusing syntax of the C programming language at the same time.

As a result, many beginners get frustrated with C as their first programming language and wind up more confused than ever. Imagine how many people would want to drive a car if it meant knowing how to refine their own gasoline and build their own engine. Understanding C isn’t quite as difficult as refining gasoline or building an engine, but it can seem that way, especially when you’re programming for the first time and you start with the C language.
