C Language (BASIC START POINT)
C Language
C is a general-purpose,computer programming language developed at AT & T's Bell Laboratories of USA in 1972. It was written by "Dennis Ritchie" who was the father of C language. C is the advanced language, which features you can't see in B and BCPL languages. B and BCPL are "typeless" languages, typeless means there are no rules to write a language. C used to make utilities running on UNIX (utilities like cat used to create a single or multiple files). C language is a high level language i.e it is human readable and easy to understand.The language is converted from high level language to low level language(Hardware Understandable) using C compiler.
Why C Language
For Beginners, C seems so popular because it is reliable,simple and easy to use. It is the basic thing to deal with problem. A problem can be solvable. Suppose if you want to calculate 99999+99999=199998 it was quite complex so that you can use a automation
tools to calculate it or you can write the program to solve the above addition of two numbers. A language can't solve your hunger,anger these comes under unsolvable and cannot be programmable. So C language is the basic programming language need to learn and has certain rules to write a program further you can migrate to C++,C# and Java.
For example, learning C is ABCD's in alphabet you hold this basic to know the other high level languages like C++, Python. Comparisons among these languages may vary. If you see every sentence in English ended up with full stop, But in C language it
ends with ";" (semicolon). In Python there is no any thing to end with. When it comes to python the developers has removed the ";" and changed the syntax. There you can see that the new language has reduced complexity to write program in your own way.
Applications
- Major parts of operating systems.
- DirectX.
- Hardware devices which use low memory(Embedded Systems).
