History of C Language

 

The history of C-language is interesting to know. The C-language is a general-purpose and procedural-oriented programming language.

It is a structured and machine-independent programming language. It was developed by Dennis Ritchie in 1972 at the AT&T Bell Laboratories.

It was developed along with the UNIX operating system and is strongly linked with UNIX operating system.

History of C language revolves around development as a system implementation language to write an operating system. In terms of the history of C language, its main features include low-level memory access as well as high-level memory access (so it is a middle-level programming language), a handy set of keywords, and a neat and clean style, these features make C programming language suitable for system programming.

C supports a wide variety of built-in functions, standard libraries and header files. It follows a top-down approach. Many languages have derived syntax directly or indirectly from the C programming language.

For example, C++ is closely a superset of the C language. Also, C programming language is very popular for system-level apps.

 25 day Create a Function To create (often referred to as declare) your own function, specify the name of the function, followed by parentheses () and curly brackets {}: Syntax void myFunction() {   // code to be executed }

 26 day  Call a Function Declared functions are not executed immediately. They are "saved for later use", and will be executed when they are called. To call a function, write the function's name followed by two parentheses () and a semicolon ; In the following example, myFunction() is used to print a text (the action), when it is called: Example Inside main, call myFunction(): // Create a function void myFunction() {   printf("I just got executed!"); } int main() {   myFunction(); // call the function   return 0; }

 42 day  C Structures The structure in C is a user-defined data type that can be used to group items of possibly different types into a single type. The struct keyword is used to define the structure in the C programming language. The items in the structure are called its member and they can be of any valid data type. Additionally, the values of a structure are stored in contiguous memory locations. Syntax struct structure_name {     data_type member_name1;     data_type member_name1;     ....     .... };
