C Programming Language and its features
- C was an offspring of the basic combined programming Language (BCPL) Called as B Language developed in 1960’s at Cambridge University.
- B Language was modified by Dennis Ritchie, and was implemented at AT and T’s Bell Laborites in 1972.
- The New language born Named was C Language.
- It Was Developed along with the Unix Operating system. This operating system was coded almost entirely in C Language.
Important Features of C:- Some feature are given below
1.Efficient and Fast- Programs are written in C Language Efficient and Fast. this is due to a
variety of data type and powerful operators. It is many times faster than BASIC
Language.
2. Built-in-Function- C Language has a different type of built-in-function. Several
standard functions which is available which can be used to write a program.
3. Portability- C
is a highly portable language. this means that a program written in C language
for one computer can be run on another computer with little or no modification.
Portability is the most important feature of C Language.
4. Structured Programming- C Language is well Suited for
structured programming thus requiring the user to think of a problem in terms
of functions and modules. a proper collection of these modules would make a
complete program.
5.Extent Itself- Another important feature of C Language is its ability to extend itself. A 'C' program is basically a collection of functions that are supported by the C Library. we can add our own function to the C library so that the programming task becomes simple.
