                                   LEARN C LANGUAGE

      

                                                  In the world, there are many programming languages like HTML, java, c, c++, c#, Python, Arduino, riberry pi, etc. And in this blog, I will teach you the C language.

INTRODUCTION:

 ●History of C:

                       1) C is the general purpose programming language.

                       2) This language is developed by Dennis Ritchie in 1974 at AT and T bell labs.

                       3) C has become a widely used professional language for various reasons.

                            Because the C language is easy to learn, it is a structured language, it produces efficient programs and it can be compiled on a variety of computers.

 ○The following chart shows the history of C:

International group                 -   ALGOL               -       1960

Martin Richards                     -   BCPL                   -        1967

Ken Thompson                       -   C                          -        1970

Dennis Ritchie                        -   Traditional C       -        1972

Kernighan and Ritchie           -   K & Rc                 -        1978

ANSI Committee                    -   ANSIC                 -        1989

ISO Committee                       -   ANSI/ISO            -        1990

Standardization committee     -   C 99                      -        1999

                                              C language was invented to write OS called Unix.C is the successor of B language which was introduced around 1970. This language was formalized in 1988 by ANSI. (American National Standard Institute).In 1972 Unix OS almost totally written in C.Today C is the most widely used system programming language. Most of the state of art software has been implemented using C.

                                             C is widely used for system development work. C was adopted as a system development language because it produces code that runs nearly as code written in assembly language.

●Features of C:

                       1) Flexibility:C is the general purpose programming language and it is used for various applications.

                    2)Powerful: Provides a variety of data types, control flow instruction, structured program, and other built-in functions.

           3) Small in size: Provide I/O facility. Help to keep the language small.

           4)Modular design:C wrote its function. It also allows the user to define/design own function.

           5) Portability: If we run code on one computer then we will also copy it and as it is run on another computer with small modifications or without modifications.

           6) Low-level features C closely related to ALGOL, making the language easier to understand.

           7) Efficiency: Development efficiency and machine efficiency is good to mean faster to execute.

            This is the basic information of the C language. In the next blog, I will teach you the actual coding, programs...
