why is it difficult to build a c program?

[ilf]

i m doin c programing since 3 month with little improvement.

you need to focus more on it. 3 months is such a long time if you don't learn that much.take it one step at a time like focusing first on the datatypes then functions then all the way to arrays. structs, pointers, etc.do some actual coding like force yourself to complete weekly projects (that's what i do) involving what you have learned thus fardon't take on advanced topics if you have not mastered the basics through practice. you won't learn it through reading books or codes of others, you learn by doing it.

Its true that in c it takes much longer time to develop applications and its bit tough to learn than language like vb. You should practice c program using a compiler. Because the more you practice the more strong background you have.C's primary use is for "system programming", including implementing operating systems and embedded system applications, due to a combination of desirable characteristics such as code portability and efficiency, ability to access specific hardware addresses. It is not suitable touse it for developing application software.

Not knowing specifically what you are struggling with, its hard to say. Pointers often give people problems, GUI development in C or C++ is harder than most languages. One thing I would advise to programmers who are just learning is to start with a language like Visual Basic or something easier so you can get the hang of flow control, functions etc and then move into languages like C or C++ which use some more complicated syntax and concepts.
