If you are a beginner and want to start learning the programming language so do not waste your valuable time, and go with C programming because C is a small language and simple in programming.
History of C language
In 1972 at AT&T Bell Labs, Dennis Ritchie who developed the C language. C language shared features from the B and BCPL programming languages.
- The B programming language was named after the B in Bell Labs.
- BCPL means Basic Combined Programming Language.
Application of C language
- Portability of C language because C provide standard library functions which support almost all machines.
- C has a very powerful set of operators for example increment operator which helps the programmer to know the machine at bit level because increment operator directly deals with machine language.
- C is simple and small language and hence C compiler can run on small computers.
- UNIX operating system is generally based on the C language, and most of the workstations, servers, and mainframes are based on the UNIX operating system.
- C language support structured programming means the large program can be divided into smaller programs which are easier to manipulate.
- C language uses the power of pre-processor directives and control/branching statements.
