pls dont say bullshit like 1 day to learn and a lifetime to master
1 time to learn and a lifeday to master

This statement leads me to believe it would take a few weeks to learn and several lifetimes to master.

few months to become a beginner. You need a good guide and nothing else. But If you want make more complex things as to write linux driver, you take longer.

Instantaneously.

CS student here. It takes about 2 months to grasp the basics. By a year you should be proficient.

Takes a lifetime to master but you can learn it in like 1 day.

This gif is incredibly satisfying.

what the fuck? depends on what you want to do with C. this question is like asking 'long it takes to become good at math'?

Define "good as a beginner". Do you mean making a hello world program? Or do you mean making a program to catalog your game (or song) collection?
A total beginner in C could make a tick-tack-toe game in as little as an hour, presuming they didn't get stuck on debugging for a few weeks.
C is actually a trivial language to learn. It has a few gnarly things, but for creating a basic "hello world" program, you can learn it in 15 minutes or less.
The hard part about programming in C is all the meta stuff. That is, techniques to write code that is readable, maintainable, robust, bug free, etc etc etc.
So, 1 day to learn, a lifetime to master is the correct answer.
How long would it take to learn carpentry? At its base, it is just driving a nail into wood, cutting wood, and getting things plumb and level. But there's a whole lot more to carpentry than just beating on wood (there is a remarkable amount of trig and basic geometry, for instance).
It takes a lifetime to learn, and a day to master :v)

don't learn C, learn C++

Complete beginner as in no programming at all? Learn python first.

2-3 months at least to start
1-2 years to be moderate
