1. What is Programming Language?

- A Programming Language is a formal language, which comprises a set of instructions that
produce various kind of output. Programming Languages are used in computer
programming to implement algorithms.

2. What is C - Language?
- C language is a general purpose, procedural computer programming language supporting
structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion while a static type system
prevents unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to
typical machine instructions, and has found lasting use in applications previously coded in
assembly language. Such applications include operating systems, as well as various
application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems.
3. Draw/Print the editor of C - Language.

4. What are the roles of programming?

- Clarity is more important than efficiency
- Generalize your code
- Write modular program
- Document your program
- Write standard FORTRAN
- Improve your layout
- Program defensively
- Use appropriate algorithms

5. What are the features of C – Language?

- It is a robust language with rich set of built-in functions and operators that can be used to

write any complex program.

- The C compiler combines the capabilities of an assembly language with features of a high-

level language.

- Programs Written in C are efficient and fast. This is due to its variety of data type and

powerful operators.

- It is many time faster than BASIC.

- C is highly portable this means that programs once written can be run on another machines

with little or no modification.

- Another important feature of C program, is its ability to extend itself.

- A C program is basically a collection of functions that are supported by C library. We can also

create our own function and add it to C library.

- C language is the most widely used language in operating systems and embedded system

development today.
