PROGRAM OVERVIEW
<p><b>Description</b> </p><p> A high-level programming language developed by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs in the mid-1970s. Although originally designed as a systems programming language, C has proved to be a powerful and flexible language that can be used for a variety of applications, from business programs to engineering. C is a particularly popular language for personal computer programmers because it is relatively small -- it requires less memory than other languages. </p><p> The first major program written in C was the UNIX operating system, and for many years C was considered to be inextricably linked with UNIX. Now, however, C is an important language independent of UNIX. </p><p> Although it is a high-level language, C is much closer to assembly language than are most other high-level languages. This closeness to the underlying machine language allows C programmers to write very efficient code. The low-level nature of C, however, can make the language difficult to use for some types of applications.</p><p> </p><p><b>What will you learn? </b></p><p> C is the most basic programming language that is the base of almost all programming languages. It excels as the model of programming language. C is a standardized language that each programmer must learn. </p><p>If you are a beginner</p><p><b>Prerequisites </b></p><p> </p><p> There are no prerequisites to learn C programming. In fact, C is considered as a language to start with for beginners. Just a basic knowledge of logical skills should be enough.</p>
