Programming with C language - Introduction

Programming with C language:

Programming with C
1.0 Introduction
Introduction
         C is a general-purpose, structured programming language. Its instructions consist of terms that resemble algebraic expressions, augmented by certain English keywords such as if, else, for, do and while. C was the offspring of the 'Basic Combined Programming Language' (BPCL) called B, developed in the 1960's at Cambridge University. B language was modified by Dennis Ritchie and was implemented at Bell laboratories in 1972. The new language was named C. Since it was developed along with the UNIX operating system, it is strongly associated with UNIX. This operating system, which was also developed at Bell laboratories, was coded almost entirely in C.

Objectives At the end of this unit, you will be able to:
  • Understand the features of C programming language
  • Understand the basic structure of a C program
  • Write simple C programs
