Introduction of C Language

Introduction of C

The C programming language is a genera-purpose, high-level language (generally denoted as structured language). C programming languages was at first developed by Dennis M.Richie at At&T Bell Labs.

C is one of the most commonly used programming languages. It is simple and efficient therefore it become best among all. It is used in all extends of application, mainly in the software development.

Many software's & application as well as the compilers for other programming language are written in C also Operating Systems like Unix, Dos and Windows are written in C.

C has many powers, it is simple, stretchy and portable, and it can control System Hardware easily. It is also one of the few languages to have an international standard, ANSI C.

Advantages of C


1. Fast Powerful & efficient
2. Easy to learn.
3. It is portable.
4. "Mid-level" Language
5. Widly accepted language 6. Supports modular programming style.
7. useful for all applications
8. C is the native language of UNIX
9. Easy to connect with System devices/assemvly routines.

Structure of program

/*This program prints Hello World on screen*/
----------------------------------------------------------------

#include
Void main()
{
printf("Hello world\n");
}

-----------------------------------------------------------------

1./*This program....*/
The symbols/*and*/used for comment. This Comments are ignored by the compiler, and are used to provide useful information about program to humans who use it.
2.#include

This is a preprocessor command which tells compiler to include stdio.h file. 3.main()
C programs consist of one or more functions. There must be one and only one function called main. The brackets following the word main indicate that it is a function and not a variable.
4.{}
braces surround the body of the function, which may have one or more instructions/statements.
5.printf()
it is a library function that is used to print data on the user screen.
6."Hello world\n" is a string that will be displayed on user screen\n is the newline character.
; a semicolon ends a statement.
7.return 0; return the value zero to the Operating system.

C is case sensitive language, so the names of the functions must be typed in lower case as above.
we can use white spaces, tabs & new line characters to make our code easy to read.

Classification of computer based on their cost size and confriguration.

TYPES OF COMPUTER Computer and it's Type Computers are classified by the type of data they are desinged to process. Data may be obtained either as a result of countig of through the use of same measuring instrument. Data that are obtained by counting are called discreate data are total numbers of students in a classroom. Data that must be obtained throgh measurement are called continous data. For example, continious data are the speeds an automobile measure by speedmotor or the tempreature of a patient as masured by a thermometer. Classification of computer based on their cost size and confriguration. In this category computers are classified as micro-computer. mainfraim compute...

Use of statement in python

Use of statement of Python: Use of if – else statement:-if – else is the variation of if statement. We attach condition with if statement if given condition is true then if block code will executed and if the given condition is false then else block code will executed. The syntax of if – else statement is given below:- if condition: Statement 1 Statement 2 else: Statement 3 Statement 4 Write a program in python to check the given number is even or odd. n=input(“Enter a number : ”) if n%2==0: print “The number ”,n,”is even” else: print “The number”,n,”is odd” Use of if-else ladder:- In Python language the switch statement is not worked. In Python we use if-else ladder in spite of using switch. The syntax of if-else ladder is given below:- if condition1: Statement 1 elif condition 2: Statement 2 elif condition 3: Statement 3 >br> else: Statement 4 Write a program in python to find greatest number in three numbers. a=input(“Enter firs...

computer and it's generation

Computer and It's GENERATION Let us first define the term computer. Computer is defined in the Oxford dictionary as "An automatic electronic apparatus for making calculations or controlling operations that are expressible in numerical or logical terms." The definition clearly categorise computer as electronic apparatus although the first computers were mechanical and electromechanical apparatus. The definition is also pointing towords the two major areas of computer application viz. data processing and computer assisted controls/operations. The another important confluence of the definition is the fact that the computer can perform only those operations/calculations which can be expressed in logical or numerical terms. Computer Generation From the early 1940's to the present, Computer scientists have been able to identify clear-cut stages in the development of computer technology. With each stage, radical change in electronics have taken place. As a resu...
