What is the C?
C
is a computer programming language. That means that you can use C to
create lists of instructions for a computer to follow. C is one of
thousands of programming languages currently in use.
Who developed the C programming language?
C was developed at Bell Laboratories in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie. Many of its principles and ideas were taken from the earlier language B and B's earlier ancestors BCPL and CPL.
What is b language?
B is a programming language developed at Bell Labs circa 1969. It is the work of Ken Thompson with Dennis Ritchie. B was derived from BCPL, and its name may be a contraction of BCPL.
Why is it called C programming language?
To quote Wikipedia: 'It was named "C" because its features were derived from an earlier language called "B", which according to Ken Thompson was a stripped-down version of the BCPL programming language'.
- C is a procedure-based programming language. This means the program is viewed as a means to solve a problem. Various functions modules or code blocks are thus, written to solve this problem.
- C functions can accept parameters and return values and perform variety of tasks like input from the user, displaying the information, etc.
- C is simple and easy to learn and use. The main components like built-in functions, operators, keywords are small in number.
- In C, errors are checked only at compile time. The compiled code though have no safety checks for bad type casts, bad array indices, or bad pointers.
- C works best for small projects where performance is important.
- C contains the capability of assembly language with the features of high level language which can be used for creating software packages, system software etc.
- C is highly portable. C programs written on one computer can run on other computer without making any changes in the program.
