Basic of C

The document provides an introduction to the C programming language. It discusses that C was developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Laboratories and was created for the UNIX operating system. C is a small, high-level language that can manipulate computer memory directly and has low memory demands, allowing it to run on different platforms with little modification. The document also provides an overview of the basic structure of a C program, including header files, constants, variable declaration, and the main program section containing code.

What is a computer program (software)


 Its a set of instructions that tells the computer what to do.
 There are about 400 programming languages. Each language
has its own:
 Syntax
 Grammar
 Application

A BRIEF HISTORY OF PROGRAMMING


LANGUAGES
Machine Languages : (0, 1)
 Assembly Languages
 More advanced than machine languages
 High Level Languages
 Have English like syntax
 Has an Interpreter or compiler.
 Are divided into 2 categories:
 Procedural (Conventional)
 Object Oriented

methods (behavior).
 The segment of code is called
a procedure / function.  Ex: C++
 Ex: C
Let's see the programming languages that were
developed before C language.
