C-PROGRAMMING HISTORY AND BASIC TERMINOLOGIES

(FOR BEGINNERS)

WHAT IS C PROGRAMMING? 

        C Programming is a standard markup language. Which is a simple, flexible, most popular, and machine-independent structured language. By, C programming concept we can easily grasp the knowledge for other languages like python, java, etc.., Hence it is also referred to as God for programming language. It is mainly developed as a system programing language in order to write an operating system. It is very easy to learn and nowadays many online compilers are there for C-programming. Such as: 

1. Tutorials point,

2. Online GDP compiler,

3. Jdoodle,

4. Codechef,

5. Repl.it etc..,

HISTORY OF C:

        "ALGOL" IS the Father of programming language. It is founded in 1960 and it is widely used in European countries. Overcoming by ALGOL in 1967, A new programming language is introduced it is known as "BCPL"  Which is an acronym for Basic Combined Programming Language. It is mainly designed for System software. In 1970, A new programming language which is known as "B" was introduced by UNIX at AT&BT Bell laboratories. This was the era of programming languages. Followed by BCPL and B in 1972, the great scientist Dennis Ritchie introduced the "C" programming at Bell laboratories. 

        C programming is started to widely used all over the world and it becomes a standard programming language. In order to prove this ANSI (American Standard National Institute) defined a commercial standard in 1989. Later it was approved by ISO (International Standard Organization) in 1990. C language is also known as "ANSI C"

10 BASIC TERMINOLOGIES OF C:

1.  VARIABLE: 

            - A Variable is a place holder to hold some values. 

            EG: a=10, where a is a variable, and 10 is a value.

2.  DATA TYPES:

            - Data types are used assign which type of a data is going to be assigned for a variable. Simple it is used to define the value type. 

            EG: char v="XXX", xxx is a character data type.

3.  OPERATORS: 

            Operators are used to performing calculations like arithmetic, logical, boolean, etc..,

            EG: a + b, where + is an arithmetic operator to perform addition. 

4.  LOOPS:

            Loops are used to perform a certain task repeatedly in programming languages. Some loops of C programming are while, for, etc..,

5.  ARRAYS:

            An array is a collection of data items. Various types of arrays are 1-dimensional, 2-dimensional, etc..,

6.  STATEMENTS: 

            A statement is a command which is used to instruct the computer to perform some task. Various types of statements in C programming are If statement, if-else statement, etc..,

7.  I/O OPERATIONS:

            In order to perform input/output operations in the file system, I/O operations are used. 

8.  SCANF:

            Scanf statement is used to get the input from a user. 

9.  PRINTF:

            Printf statement is used to print the output of a program. 

10.  MEMORY MANAGEMENT:

            In order allocate memory C programming provides 3 distinct ways for memory allocation. They are Static, Automatic, and Dynamic. 

SOME FEATURES OF C LANGUAGE: 

• Simple,
• Fast and Efficient,
• Machine independent language,
• Middle-level language,
• Case sensitive,
• Structured language,
• Compiler Based,
• Portability etc..,

SUMMARY: 

       I hope that you learned and gained some knowledge about the history and basic 10 terminologies of C programming. If we missed something or else want to more about some topics let us know by comments.
