Can you develop a program with a graphical user interface in C? Or is C just for console applications?

You can, but you'll have to use the OS API to do it.

Programming is a branch of mathematics.

You could download and play around with visual c++ express edition from microsoft, wouldn't cost you anything. Even though it's C++, you can just as well write straight C code with it.

Google 'visual c++ express' and you'll find a link to it.

With C you can use GTK+, and with C++ you can use wxWidgets. You can use those, any other GUI libraries, or the OS API as WingedPanther said.

So then how would you make API's of your own? Like if you were developing a small operating system to run off a floppy disk

You would have to make some sort of windowing system, and some way for programs to communicate with it through the OS. Honestly though, I don't really know much about how it all works.
