About C Programming Language

C Programming Language :   

    What is C ?

  • C is a Computer Programming Language.
  • C was originally developed by Dennis Ritchie between 1972 and 1973 at Bell Labs.
    • Dennis Ritchie

  • The C programming language is a popular and widely used programming language for creating computer programs.
  • C is what is called a compiled language. This means that once you write your C program, you must run it through a C compiler to turn your program into an executable that the computer can run (execute)
    .

    Why C Programming?

  • C is the mother of all programming languages and it is written in very simple and effective way.
  • C is the best programming language today is still the fact that it simply powers everything. From your phone to your Wifi, no other language provides the level of hardware interaction with the practicality of a concise and expressive syntax.
    Sample C Program
  • It is easier than Assembler language, much easier than Machine code and allows almost identical performance (with today’s good compilers).
  • All other modern  programming languages borrowed heavily from C.

    Where C Programming is Used ?

  1. C is used to develop standalone Applications.
  2. C is widely used for system programming in implementing operating systems like Unix,Linux,Windows,even MacOS and Android etc.
  3. C directly or indirectly influencing development of many languages including C++ which is C with classes, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, UNIX’s C Shell, PHP and Python.
  4. C including direct access to machine level hardware APIs, make C language an optimum choice for scripting applications and drivers of embedded systems like Arduino, Raspberry pi etc.
  5. C language has been used in the development of a variety of graphics and gaming applications, such as chess, bouncing ball, archery etc.

Computer : Computer is an electronic device that is designed to work with Information. The term computer is derived from the Latin term ‘computare’, this means to calculate or programmable machine. Computer can not do anything without a Program.(Ex : PC, Laptop, Smartphones etc,.) Programming : Programming is the process of creating a set of instructions that tell a computer how to perform a task. Language : Language is the normal way humans communicate and  people use to express thoughts and feelings to each other. Only humans use language, though other animals communicate through other means. Human language has syntax, a set of rules for connecting words together to make statements and questions. What is Computer Programming Language?           A programming language is a vocabulary and set of grammatical rules for instructing a computer or computing device to perform specific tasks.A computer can understand binary language ( i.e., 0's and 1's ) only,but t

What is Java ?        Java is a general-purpose computer-programming language developed in June 1991 by James Gosling a former computer scientist with Sun Microsystems. James Gosling Java programming is used to produce software for multiple platforms ( Windows, Linux, Mac OS , etc). Java derives much of its syntax from the C and C++ programming languages.   There are lots of applications and websites that will not work unless you have Java installed and more are created everyday.                         Why is it called Java?          In 1991, Sun Microsystems had a requirement, to prepare new programming language used to develop software for electronic devices like TV Switch boxes, Remote Controller, etc. Initially James Gosling named Java as Oak ( It is a tree name ), Oak Tree but Sun Microsystems rejected Oak because already a programming language is existed with name Oak. Later it was renamed Java ( Java is coffee name and it is an island of Indonesia whe
