C
Programming language –
C
Programming language developed at Bell
Laboratories of USA is a general purpose programming language initially
developed by Dennis Ritchie in 1972
and later replaced programming languages of those times including PL/I, ALGOL
etc.
There
were few reasons why C became more popular as compared to programming languages
of that time including FORTRAN, because it was reliable, simple and easy to
code. One must learn C language before jumping to other object oriented programming
languages such as C++, C#, Java because of the following reasons –
- One must learn the actual language elements before jumping to advance concepts including classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, templates, exception handling etc because learning these difficult elements without knowing the actual programming elements is learning the things in wrong order.
- Operating systems such as Windows, UNIX, and LINUX are all written in C language which itself defines its importance. Even today nothing can strike C when execution speed becomes a factor. Device driver programs are also written in C.
