Hello World! This is my first post on my new C Programming blog! How exciting!

I’m sure I’ll write a lot more interesting things in the future.

Let get started with C

C Programming Language

  • It is general purpose, compiled, structural and middle level programming language.
  • It was developed at AT & T’s Bell Laboratories of USA in 1972.
  • It was designed by Dennis M. Ritchie.

Why use C?

  • the portability of the compilers.
  • the standard library concept.
  • a powerful and varied repertoire of operation.
  • an elegant syntax.
  • ready access to the hardware when needed.
  • and the ease with which applications can be optimized by hand coding isolated procedures.

Features of C:-

  • It is reliable, simple and easy to use.
  • It has the virtues of a high-level programming language with the efficiency of an assembly language.
  • It supports user-defined data types for greater flexibity in programming.
  • It supports modular and structured programming concepts, i.e. C program may be broken into smaller tasks or unit.
  • It supports a rich library of functions that programmers can use directly to code their applications efficiently.
  • It provides low-level memory and device access features, making it suitable for writing system programs.
  • Good base for learning C++, C# or Java.
  • It offers better interaction with hardware.
