language. • C language consist of set instruction which would be used to develop system programs. • Now-a-days, C has become a common programming language for every application developer. History Of C:- • It was developed at Bell Telephone Laboratory, USA
• The principle author of C is Dennis Ritchie
• Derived from two languages
BCPL B-Language • In 1967, BCPL was developed
• In 1970, Ken Thompson, developed B language
• Finally In 1972, Brain Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie
jointly gave definitive description for C.
• In 1978 a detailed description of the C Language
Characteristics of C:- • General purpose programming language
• It is structured programming language
• Helps in development of system software
• It has rich set of operators
• Portability: Any c program can be run on different machines with little or no modification.
• Supports a rich set of data types
• Very less number of reserved words
Application of C • It is used to develop the system as well as application software. • System software:- Operating system Interpreters Compilers Assembler • Application Software:- Data base System Graphics packages Spread Sheets Office Automation Tools Word Processors Basic Structure of C Program:- Preprocessor statements global declarations; main() { declaration; statements; } user defined function A Simple C Program #include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> void main() { int a,b,sum; a=10; b=20; sum=a+b; printf(“Sum fo two numbers=%d\n”,sum); getch(); } Output sum of two numbers=30 Drawbacks of C:- • No standard libraries for computer .graphics and several other application programming needs. • Very limited support for object-oriented programming.
