AIM: To Introduce Students to C Programming Language

1.0 OBJECTIVES

1. To introduce the interface of C programming software (DEV C++)

2. To develop C algorithm by using Microsoft Visual C++ Programming Language

2.0 Introduction

C is one of the most widely used programming languages of all time, and C compilers
are available for the majority of available computer architectures and operating
systems. Many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C including
D, Go, Rust, Java, JavaScript, Limbo, LPC, C#, Objective-C, Perl, PHP, Python, and
Verilog

There are a few of free, open-source, cross-platform C/C++ software available online
such as Dev C++, Bloodshed C++, Microsoft Visual C++ and Code::Blocks.

By using any search engine online like Google or yahoo, search one of the software
above and download it and install it in your own computer.

The figures that will be used in this lab sheet will be from the Dev C++ 5.4.2 software.
