Prerequisite – C Language Introduction
C is a simple language made in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie. It’s for system programming. C has low-level memory access, basic keywords, good for systems like OS.
Important C language features are: Procedure, Speed, Modularity, Static Type, General Use, Operators, Libraries, Mid-Level, Portability, Extensibility.
- Procedure means step-by-step instructions. C is one way, others are object-oriented.
- C is fast due to direct hardware control, unlike higher-level languages.
- Modularity is storing code in libraries for reuse. C has its own libraries.
- Static type means variable type checked at compile time.
- C is used in various applications, like OS, databases.
- C has many built-in operators for complex/simplified programs.
- C has robust libraries for easier coding.
- It’s a middle-level language, combining assembly and high-level features.
- C is portable, runs on different systems with small changes.
- C programs can be extended with more features and operations.
