Introduction of C Programming Language


C Tutorial - C Programming Language

C Programming Language Tutorial

In this post, We will cover the complete introduction of c programming language like what is c, where c programming is used, and the complete history of c language.

This tutorial will provide you an easy way to learn c programming language with complete information.

This c tutorial is useful for both beginners and experienced.

Let's learn c programming step-by-step.


What is C Programming Language?

C is a general purpose and computer programming language which is used to develop system application software.

C is the most widely used computer programming language by using c language we can develop system software and operating system. 

C programming language is also known as mother language and base language of all programming language.

Most of the all modern programming languages use syntax of 'C' language e.g C++, Java, etc. C is a structured programming language.

C is a simple and easy programming language for learners.

C programming can be compiled on the variety of computer platforms.


Where C is used?

We can use c programming for developing..
  • Compilers
  • Operating Systems(OS)
  • Text Editors
  • Databases 
  • Assemblers
  • Language Interpreters
  • Utilities
  • Network Drivers
  • Word Processors 

C programming language is also used for developing useful or major part of web browsers like Mozilla Firefox, Chrome, etc.

Oracle and MySQL databases are also written in c programming language.

Almost device drivers and UNIX operating system are written in c language.


History of C Programming Language

Dennis M. Ritchie - Founder of C Programming

C programming language is originally developed by Dennis M. Ritchie in 1972 at the Bell laboratories AT&T(American Telephone & Telegraph) in U.S.A. 

C programming language is basically developed by Dennis M. Ritchie to develop the UNIX operating system. Unix operating system is fully written in c programming.

Before C language, There were some programming languages like 

(1) Algol - Algol programming language developed by Cambridge University in 1960.

(2) CPL - Combined programming language developed by Cambridge University in 1963

(3) BCPL - Basic combined programming language developed by Martin Richards in 1967.

(4) B - B programming language developed by Ken Thompson at Bell labs in 1969.

(5) C - C programming language is developed by Dennis M. Ritchie at bell laboratories in 1972.


In 1989, C programming language standardized by ANSI(American National Standard Institute) which is known as "ANSI - C" or "C89".

In 1990, 95, 99 - C programming language standardized by ISO which is known as "C90", "C95", "C99", respectively.

In 2011, C programming language standardized by ISO again which is known as "C11".

Here we learned so many things about c programming language e.g the complete introduction of c programming language, Where we can use c language for developing applications, and detailed history of c programming language e.g who is the founder of c language and which year it is developed and other languages which are developed before c language and their years of developing.
