Introduction to C language

 Introduction to C 

C is a powerful general-purpose programming language, It is fast, portable and available in all Cis a general-purpose programming language used for wide range of applications from Operating systems like Windows and iOŞ to software that is used for creating 3D movies, Standard C programs are portable. The operating system without any change, 1972. It was source code written in one system works in another developed at AT & T Bell Laboratories of USA in

C is a programming language designed and written by “Dennis Ritchie", C is a powerful general purpose and most popular computer programming language. C is highly portable i.e., software written for one computer can be fun on another computer. C language is well suited for structured programming. An important feature of “C' is its ability to extend itself. AC program is basically a collection of functions.

Where C Stands

 All programming languages can be divided into two categories:

 (a) Problem oriented languages or High-level languages: These languages have been designed to give a

better programming efficiency, i.e., faster program development.

Ex: FORTRAN, BASIC, PASCAL, etc.

(b) Machine oriented languages or Low-level languages: These languages have been designed to give a

better machine efficiency, i.e., faster

program execution.

Ex: Assembly Language and Machine Language.

C stands in between these two categories. That's why it is often called a “Middle Level language", since it was designed to have both: a relatively good programming efficiency and relatively good machine efficiency.
