C Language Tutorial

The C programming language was developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie at AT&T's Bell Laboratories to address issues in previous languages and was initially used for UNIX. C is characterized as a simple, machine-independent, mid-level programming language that supports structured programming, dynamic memory management, and fast execution. It includes features such as a rich library, pointers, recursion, and extensibility, making it suitable for system applications and various programming tasks.

3 History Of C Language
4
5 1. C programming language was developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie at bell laboratories of AT&T (American Telephone & Telegraph), located in the U.S.A.
6 2. Dennis Ritchie is known as the founder of the c language.
7 3. It was developed to overcome the problems of previous languages such as B, BCPL, etc
8 4. Initially, C language was developed to be used in UNIX operating system. It inherits many features of previous languages such as B and BCPL.

22 * Features Of C Programming Language *
23 -------------------------------------------
24
25 1. Simple : C is a simple language in the sense that it provides a structured approach (to break the problem into parts),
26 the rich set of library functions, data types, etc.
27
28 2. Machine Independent or Portable : Unlike assembly language, c programs can be executed on different machines with some machine specific changes.
29 Therefore, C is a machine independent language.
30
31 3. Mid-level programming language : Although, C is intended to do low-level programming.
32 It is used to develop system applications such as kernel, driver, etc.
33 It also supports the features of a high-level language. That is why it is known as mid-level language.
34
35 4. structured programming language : C is a structured programming language in the sense that we can break the program into parts using functions.
36 So, it is easy to understand and modify. Functions also provide code reusability.
37
38 5. Rich Library : C provides a lot of inbuilt functions that make the development fast.
39
40 6. Memory Management : It supports the feature of dynamic memory allocation.
41 In C language, we can free the allocated memory at any time by calling the free() function.
42
43 7. Fast Speed : The compilation and execution time of C language is fast since there are lesser inbuilt functions and hence the lesser overhead.
44
45 8. Pointers : C provides the feature of pointers.
46 We can directly interact with the memory by using the pointers.
47 We can use pointers for memory, structures, functions, array, etc.
48
49 9. Recursion : In C, we can call the function within the function.
50 It provides code reusability for every function. Recursion enables us to use the approach of backtracking.
51
52 10. Extensible : C language is extensible because it can easily adopt new features.
