C is a computer programming language. That means that you can use C to create lists of instructions for a computer to follow. C is one of thousands of programming languages currently in use. C language is a object oriented programming language developed by Dennis Ritchie. The C language is belonging to middle level programming language. Operating system programs such as Windows, Unix, Linux are written in C language. C89/C90 and C99 are two standardized editions of C language
C is a general-purpose programming language that is ideal for developing firmware or portable applications. Originally intended for writing system software, C was developed at Bell Labs by Dennis Ritchie for the Unix Operating System in the early 1970s.
Some of C's most important features include:-
- Fixed number of keywords, including a set of control primitives, such as if, for, while, switch and do while
- Multiple logical and mathematical operators, including bit manipulators
- Multiple assignments may be applied in a single statement.
- Function return values are not always required and may be ignored if unneeded.
- Typing is static. All data has type but may be implicitly converted.
- Basic form of modularity, as files may be separately compiled and linked
