Craft Your First C Greeting

Introduction

In this challenge, you will demonstrate your basic C programming skills by creating a personalized greeting program. As a new junior developer, you will use the printf() function to print a greeting message that includes your name and states that you are learning C programming. The program must be saved as greeting.c, include the <stdio.h> header, and return 0 at the end of execution. You will also need to compile the program using the gcc command.
