Basic Programming

The primary higher level language that will be focused on in the book is C. I have had previous experience with java, and I can see many similarities in the syntax of the two languages. They use the same arithmetic and comparison operators. Also, they use the same loop logic and if-else statements. One capability of C that java doesn't have are pointers. Pointers can be used as variables, but instead of actually defining a variable, pointers instead point to a particular piece of data of that variable type.
