Why C Language is so important
  • Oracle is written in C
  • Core libraries of android are written in C
  • MySQL is written in C
  • Almost every device driver is written in C
  • Major part of web browser is written in C
  • Unix operating system is developed in C
  • C is the world's most popular programming language

C is important to build programming skills
C covers basic features of all programming language
C is the most popular language for hardware dependent programming

History of C language

Before C language a man named Martin Richards developed a language named BCPL ( Basic Combined Programming Language) in 1966.

Ken Thompson who worked at AT & T's Bell Laboratories who improvised BCPL language and developed  a new language named B language in 1969. He developed B language to develop a operating system named UNIX. He also developed first master level chess called Belle in 1980.

Device must take input. Device must process given input. Device must gives output. examples: General Purpose Computer A general-purpose computer that performs several tasks like calculating, programming, playing music etc. At home we use laptop or desktop that is general purpose computer.    What is 0 and 1 There is nothing like 0 and 1 in computer.  There is no physical significance of 0 and 1. then what i s 0 and 1?   0 and 1 is a sort of coding. Any information can be encoded as a sequence of 0 and 1. How 0 and 1 get stored in memory In Har d Disk Hard Disk  uses magnetic regions on the  hard disk  surface to represent these 1s and 0s. If the region is magnetized with the  north pole  facing up, it represents a  1 . If the  south pole  i...
