The document outlines key characteristics of several programming languages, including C, Java, Python, and Ruby. C, developed in 1972, is a low-level language known for its efficiency and manual memory management, serving as a foundation for many modern languages. It is widely used in system programming, game development, and networking despite its age.

Programming

Key Characteristics
Language

Ancestor to many modern languages (C++, Java, C#). Low-level, used for
C system programming. Requires manual memory management. Steeper
learning curve.

Platform-independent due to Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Used in


Java enterprise applications and Android development. Object-oriented. Strict
syntax and longer code compared to Python.

Easy to learn, simple and readable syntax. Widely used in data science, AI,
Python and web development. Open-source with a strong community. Requires
fewer lines of code.

Designed for simplicity and human-friendly syntax. Used mainly for web
Ruby development (Ruby on Rails). Influenced by Perl and Lisp. Flexible and
supports multiple paradigms.

C Programming Language
C is a general-purpose programming language developed by Dennis Ritchie in 1972 at Bell
Labs. It is considered the ancestor of many modern languages, including C++, Java, and C#.
Key Features:
 Low-level programming capabilities: Allows direct interaction with hardware.
 Fast and efficient: Used for system programming, including operating systems (e.g.,
Linux).
 Manual memory management: Uses pointers and dynamic memory allocation.
 Portable: C code can be compiled and run on different platforms with minimal
modifications.
 Structured language: Supports modular programming with functions.
Usage:
 Operating systems and embedded systems.
 Game development and real-time applications.
 Networking and database development.
Despite being an older language, C remains one of the most powerful and widely used languages
in computing today.
