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...

history of computer.

History of Computer The ENIAC was invented by J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly at the University of Pennsylvania and began construction in 1943 and was not completed until 1946. It occupied about 1,800 square feet and used about 18,000 vacuum tubes, weighing almost 50 tons. When was the first computer invented? There is no easy answer to this question due to the many different classifications of computers. The first mechanical computer, created by Charles Babbage in 1822, doesn't really resemble what most would consider a computer today. Therefore, this document has been created with a listing of each of the computer firsts, starting with the Difference Engine and leading up to the computers we use today. NOTE: Early inventions which helped lead up to the computer, such as the abacus, calculator, and tablet machines, are not accounted for in this document. First mechanical computer or automatic computing engine concept In 1822, Charles Babbage conceptualized and b...

What is Python ?

What is python What is Python: - Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. Python was developed by Guido Van Rossum in the late eighties and early nineties at the National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science in the Netherlands. Features of Python:-  Less line of codes than other languages (fast execution)  Platform independent  Open Source  Object Oriented  It supports functional and structured programming methods  It can be used as a scripting language or can be compiled to byte-code for building large applications  It provides very high-level dynamic data types and supports dynamic type checking  It supports automatic garbage collection  It can be easily integrated with C, C++, COM, ActiveX, CORBA, and Java How to start the Python? First of all install the Python 2.7.12 on your system. After installation it will create a directory in C: drive named Python27. In Python27...
