C language introduction



C language History
C is a general-purpose high level programming language that was originally developed by Dennis Ritchie for the Unix operating system. It was first implemented on the Digital Eqquipment Corporation PDP-11 computer in 1972. The Unix operating system and virtually all Unix applications are written in the C programming language. Before C programming language was created There was a language created by Martin Richard in 1966 this language name is BCPL Then in 1969 Ken Thompson needed a language to build the operating system so he improved the language of Martin Richard(BCPL) they created a language known as B programming Language.

C language is considered as the mother language of all the modern programming languages because most of the compilers, JVMs, Kernels, etc. are written in C language, and most of the programming languages follow C syntax, for example, C++, Java, C#, etc.

It provides the core concepts like the C language is considered as the mother language of all the modern programming languages because most of the compilers, JVMs, Kernels, etc. are written in C language, and most of the programming languages follow C syntax, for example, C++, Java, C#, etc.

It provides the core concepts like the array,strings, function, file handling  etc. that are being used in many languages like C++, C# ,java,etc. 

      

UNIX operating system, the C compiler, and essential all UNIX application have been wriiten in C.C has now becom a widely used professionl language for various reasons:
  • Easy to learn
  • Structured language
  • It produces efficient programs

Facts about C
  • C was invented to write a operating system.
  • The UNIX OS totally written in C.

Why learn C programming

Friends, have you ever thought that we start programming with C language?

So we learn C programming language because when we learn C programming language, It becomes easy for us to learn many programming languages.After learning the C programming language, we C++ and java programming languages learning becomes easy.


Why is C language is important


  • The most important benefit of the C programming language, is that it recognised worldwide and used in a multitude of applications, including advanced scientific systems and operating systems. Another important benefit of learning the C language, is that it is the base language of all advanced computer languages. Learning C programming has lot of benifits but the foremost things is in which Its help is to understand underlying the architecture of how things work.
  • Learning C has a similar benefit. If the person had learned driving on a manual car, he could have easily driven the automatic car as well. Similarly, if a person learns C programming first, it will help him to learn any modern programming language as well. As learning C help to understand a lot of underlying architecture of operating system. Like, pointers, working with memory locations etc.

Variable in C language

Image
Variable.                            I n Programming,A Variable Is A Container (Storage Area) To Hold Data. A variable is nothing but a name given to a storage area that our programs can manipulate. Each variable in C has a specific type, which determines the size and layout of the variable's memory; the range of values that can be stored within that memory; and the set of operations that can be applied to the variable.  will be the following basic variable types − To Indicate The Storage Area,Each Variable Should be Given A Unique Name (Identifier).Variable Names Are Just The Symbolic Representation Of A Memory Location. Variable names are just the symbolic representation of a memory location. For example: int  StudentMArks=72 ; Here [ StudentMarks ] is a variable of int type.Here the variable assigned an integer value 72.   The name of a variable can be composed of letters, digits, and the u...

C keyword and identifier

Image
In this tutorial  you will learn about keywords and identifier of C programming  language   What is keywords in C programming language  Keywords are some reserved  words that C language use for denoting something specific.In C language  keywords written in lower case.C language has 32 keywords  Keywords are predefined reserved words used in programming that have special meanings to the compiler.Keywords are part of the syntax and they cannot used as identifier Character set of C Character: it denoted any alphabet,digit or special symbol used to represent information . Use: These characters can be combined to form variable,C use Constants.variable,operators,keyword,and expression as building blocks to form a basic C programming language. Character set: The character set is the fundamental raw material of any language and they are used to represent information,Like natural language,compile. Language will also have well defined character set,which is usef...
