Introduction to C Programming - TCCI.doc
- 1. Introduction to CProgramming What is C? The C language is a high-level language developed by Dennis M. Ritchie. It was implemented in 1972, but the first publicly available description of C was developed and produced by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie in 1978. Let us see some key points: Firstly, the B language was introduced. So, C is a successor of B. The popular UNIX was written in C. C Language has been used to develop operating systems, databases, editors, etc. C language code is generally written in a text file with the extension .c Why Learn C? The C Language is still preferred since it is simple and reliable to use. A lot of discussions and comparisons have been made about C, C++, and Java.
- 2. Let us learnwhy C should be learned before learning C++ and Java: Always start with the basics. Learn the basic programming concepts in C before switching to C++ and Java concepts like classes, objects, abstract classes, exception handling, inheritance, etc. Basics will make your learning simpler for other languages. In recent years, the concept of Java and C++ has definitely been boosted. But still, C is being used since the core C language elements are still required. Some operating systems, tools, and software are still written in C. The device drivers, which help in solving your software issues with hardware, are still written in C for interaction with hardware. It is still the first choice because the execution is fast and hassle-free. C Features Structured Language: C is a structured language since it can be easily split into multiple blocks of execution, which are known as functions. This makes the code easier to understand. Execution Speed: The efficient and fast execution of C programs still makes it the number one choice of programmers. The compilation and execution of a C program are quite fast. Built-in functions: C language built-in functions help in writing complex programs with ease. Code Reusability: Code reusability eliminates the need to write the same code again and again and leads to fewer lines of code and faster execution. Recursion occurs when a function calls itself, reducing the need to write code again and again. Extend: The C language extends itself and takes up new features. C Application The following are the real-life applications of C language: Many Python libraries for Data Science and Machine Learning are written in C, such as, NumPy. The Operating Systems, Windows and Mac, are written in C and C++. Linux, developed by Linus Torvalds, is written in C. Visual Studio Code, developed by Microsoft, is written in not only C# but also C.
