Introduction to C programming language
What is C Language?
C language is a programming language. It supports structured programming. It is a high-level language. It is also considered as the mother of all computer programming language as it consists of basics to all languages.
It was developed by Dennis Ritchie. C has been standardized by the American National Standards Institute. It was designed to be compiled using relatively straight-forward compiler, to provide low-level access to memory, to require minimal run-time support. Therefore, C-language was useful for many applications that are coded in assembly language such as in system programming.
It has some fixed keywords such as for, if/else, while and do/while. There are large numbers of arithmetical and logical operators such as +, +=, ++, &, etc.
Advantages of C-language:
- C-language is a building block for many other languages.
- C is highly portable language.
- C has an ability to extend itself.
- It is a structured programming language.
