What is C Programming Language ?

C Programming Language


Why only C Language?

Why only C Programming Language is preferred among all ? Means we have a lot of options to deal with but why only C ? Since C Language have So many points which makes it easier as well as the root to many high level programming language.

Introduction to C Language


The C Programming Language was developed by Dennis Ritchie in 1972 at At&T'S Bell Laboratories. And it was inspired from 'ALGOL' programming Language, 'BCPL' programming Language, & 'B' programming Language.


Why learn C ?  Is it have any Scope in Placement??

As we studied earlier, 'C' is a base language for many programming languages. So, learning 'C' as the main language will play an important role while studying other programming languages. It shares the same concepts such as data types, operators, control statements and many more. 'C' can be used widely in various applications. It is a simple language and provides faster execution. There are many jobs available for a 'C' developer in the current market. It is widely used in the Software Development field and close to Machine Language (ML).

Application of C Programming Language


  1. 'C' language is widely used in embedded systems.
  2. It is used for developing system applications.
  3. It is widely used for developing desktop applications.
  4. Most of the applications by Adobe are developed using 'C' programming language.
  5. It is used for developing browsers and their extensions. Google's Chromium is built using 'C' programming language.
  6. It is used to develop databases. MySQL is the most popular database software which is built using 'C'.
  7. It is used in developing an operating system. Operating systems such as Apple's OS X, Microsoft's Windows, and Symbian are developed using 'C' language. It is used for developing desktop as well as mobile phone's operating system.
  8. It is used for compiler production.
  9. It is widely used in IOT applications.

Basic Structure of C Language


Key Points for C Language

  • 'C' was developed by Dennis Ritchie in 1972.
  • It is a robust language.
  • It is a low programming level language close to machine language
  • It is widely used in the software development field.
  • It is a procedure and structure oriented language.
  • It has the full support of various operating systems and hardware platforms.
  • Many compilers are available for executing programs written in 'C'.
  • A compiler compiles the source file and generates an object file.
  • A linker links all the object files together and creates one executable file.
  • It is highly portable.

Infinix Hot 9 specs leaked

Infinix Hot 9 One of the most awaited smartphone brand Infinix is all set for it's another bid device launch "Infinix Hot 9" series which will be the successor of Infinix hot 8 will be launching soon. It was said on by the officials that it will be launched after 18 days which will be on 17th of april But we are here with it's specs before it's actual launch. Here is the image of it's back panel showing a quad camera in a circular housing featuring 48 MP primary Sensor. The other cameras in the setup could include a wide-angle lens, a macro lens and a depth sensor, going by current trends. The rear of the phone does not feature a fingerprint sensor, suggesting that it may either feature a power button-mounted fingerprint scanner on the side, or an in-display fingerprint sensor. However, given that in-display fingerprint sensors depend on local pixel dimming, and the same is largely possible with OLED-based display panels, it is likelier that...
