Calling C function from Python with ctypes

ctypes is a foreign function interface (FFI) module in Python that allows calling functions written in C from Python. This tutorial will guide you through the process of calling a simple C function from Python using ctypes.
Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:
Let's start by creating a simple C function that we can call from Python. Create a file named example.c with the following content:
Compile the C code using the following command:
Execute the Python script using the following command:
You should see the following output:
Congratulations! You have successfully called a C function from Python using ctypes. You can now extend this example by exploring more complex C functions and data types.
Happy coding!
