PROGRAM OVERVIEW

<p style="text-align: justify; ">Description </p><p style="text-align: justify; "> </p><p style="text-align: justify; ">The C programming language is a structure oriented programming language, developed at Bell Laboratories in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie C programming language features were derived from an earlier language called &ldquo;B&rdquo; (Basic Combined Programming Language &ndash; BCPL). </p><p style="text-align: justify; "> </p><p style="text-align: justify; ">C language was invented for implementing UNIX operating system in 1978, Dennis Ritchie and Brian Kernighan published the first edition &ldquo;The C Programming Language&rdquo; and commonly known as K&amp;R C </p><p style="text-align: justify; "> </p><p style="text-align: justify; ">In 1983, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) established a committee to provide a modern, comprehensive definition of C. The resulting definition, the ANSI standard, or &ldquo;ANSI C&rdquo;, was completed late 1988. </p><p style="text-align: justify; "> </p><p style="text-align: justify; ">This language is one of the first high-level languages developed and is fast, structured, portable and has a rich library. All of these features allow C to have applications across every domain in the world of programming. C is used in all the operating systems in your computer and your cellphone and even in programming robots. </p><p style="text-align: justify; "> </p><p style="text-align: justify; ">Prerequisites </p><p style="text-align: justify; "> </p><p style="text-align: justify; ">There are some prerequisites to learn C &ndash; Advanced Level Programming </p><p style="text-align: justify; "> </p><p style="text-align: justify; ">1) Student should complete the entire C Language Course and C - Basic Level Programming in Ekalasaala portal. </p><p style="text-align: justify; "> </p><p style="text-align: justify; ">2) Student must have the knowledge on </p><p style="text-align: justify; "> </p><p style="text-align: justify; ">a.
