WHAT IS C LANGUAGE ?

 C is a general-purpose, high-level language that was originally


developed by Dennis M. Ritchie to develop the UNIX operating
system at Bell Labs.

 C programming is considered as the base for other programming


languages,
* Why c is called general purpose language ?

Ans :

In computer software, a general-purpose programming language is


a language designed to be used for writing all types of software in a
wide variety of application domains.
HISTORY OF C LANGUAGE

 C language was developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie at bell


laboratories of AT&T (American Telephone & Telegraph), located
in U.S.A.

 Dennis Ritchie is the founder of C language.

 It was developed to overcome the problems of previous languages


such as B, BCPL (Basic Combined Programming Language) etc.

 Initially, C language was developed to be used in UNIX


operating system.
FEATURES OF C LANGUAGE

 Simple
C is a simple language b coz it provides rich set of built in functions, data types etc.

 Machine Independent
c programs can be executed in many machines with little bit or no change.

 Structured prorgramming language


we can break the program into parts using functions. So, it is easy to understand and
modify.

 Built in Functions
C provides a lot of inbuilt functions that makes the development fast.

 Easy to learn
Made By C Language

 Linux OS Written in C.

 PHP Lang. Written in C.

 MySQL Written in C.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

C has been written in Assembly Language.


USE OF C

 Database System

 Compiler

 Operating System

 Network Driver

 Text Editors
C LANGUAGE BECOME VERY POPULER B COZ…

 One of the early programming language.

 Still the best programming language to learn

 C is simple and easy to use

 Modern programming concept based on C

 It can be compiled on variety of computer platform

 Universities preferred to add C lang. in their course


HOW TO INSTALL C

 If you want to set up your environment for C language,


you need the following two software tools available on
your computer.

➢ TextEditor
➢ The C Compiler

OR
WHAT IS COMPILER ?

 The source code written in source file is the human


readable source for your program.

 It needs to be "compiled", into machine language so that


your CPU can actually execute the program as per the
instructions given.

 The process of converting high-level programming into


machine language is known as compilation.
IDE FOR C LANGUAGE

 Code Blocks
(www.codeblocks.org/)

 Turbo C C++

CODEBLOCKS
TURBO C C++ IDE
FIRST C PROGRAM

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

void main()
{

printf("Hello C Language");

getch();

}
 #include <stdio.h> includes the standard input output library functions. The
printf() function is defined in stdio.h .

 #include <conio.h> includes the console input output library functions. The
getch() function is defined in conio.h file.

 void main() ::: The main() function is the entry point of every program in c
language. The void keyword specifies that it returns no value.

 The printf() function is used to print data on the console.

 The getch() function asks for a single character. Until you press any key, it
blocks the screen.
Extension

 C program written into one or more text files with


extension ".c";
