1.0 C Language

C language was developed at Bell Labs in the late 1980s and is responsible for most modern operating systems. Together with its object-oriented successor C++, C and C++ have become the most commonly used languages for commercial software. C runs the widely used UNIX operating system and has gained widespread commercial use. Venture capital increasingly funds C-based software development as the language becomes more important in jobs and businesses. Expertise in C creates opportunities in fields like communications and information technology. Learning C involves understanding basic elements like variables, constants, data types, statements, expressions, operators, and functions to manipulate input/output, strings, arrays, pointers, memory allocation and more. Tutorials also cover the preprocessor, macros, file inclusion

C Language

Developed originally at Bell Labs by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie in the second
half of the 1980’s, the C Language has become a high-level programming language
responsible for almost all operating systems of today. Together with the object-oriented
successor of C, C++, these two languages have become commercial software’s first
choice in programming language. UNIX runs on C Language and is becoming
commercially acceptable on a mass scale.

Venture capital seems to be financing C Language-based software development as it is


gaining interest in the job market and receiving support from large corporations and big
business markets. Communications and Information Technology are some of the
employment opportunities available for the expert C Language programmer.

Like any language learning exercise, the C Language begins with Variables and
Constants. These Variables and Constants of basic data types create words and sentences
of C, forming the C programming language. A set of instructions and rules for writing in
the C Language exists, as is part of any computer programming language. These
instructions are explained in online tutorials defining Statements, Expressions, Operators,
Managing Input/Output Operations, Strings, Arrays, Functions, Pointers, Dynamic
Memory allocation and more.

Using Preprocessor directives, Macros, define identifier string, Simple macro


substitution, Macros as arguments, Nesting of macros, Un-defining a macro and File
inclusion, the C Language programmer becomes familiar with the terms and functions of
this complex programming language. The preprocessor in the C Language is examined in
tutorials that describe modifying and reading C Language and discuss efficiency and
portability.
