About C Language
C language is a high-level language, also called middle-level programming language due to its low level programming compatibilities.
C language was developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie at AT&T Bell Laboratories for creating the UNIX operating system.
Originally utilized for system programming, its versatility and robust capabilities, along with the availability of high-quality compilers for various computing platforms, have made it a popular choice across industries for diverse applications.
C follows a structured-oriented programming paradigm.
Why we use C?
In the last decade, the C programming language has become the overwhelming choice of serious PC programmers.
Why? C is unique among programming languages in that it provides the convenience of a higher-level language such as BASIC or Pascal, but at the same time allows much closer control of a computer’s hardware and peripherals, as assembly language does. There are very few operations that can be performed on the PC in assembly language that cannot be accomplished—usually far more conveniently—in C. This is the principle reason for C’s popularity.
