Importance of C Language

Importance of c language:-


 It is suitable to write “System programs  like Operating systems, compilers, loaders. Linkers and also to write Application Programs” like Payroll Systems. Inventory Systems. Banking Systems, E-Mail Systems etc.


 C is simple to use because of its structured approach. It has a wide collection of inbuilt functions, keywords, operators and data types.


 It is easy to write code on one system which can be easily ported to another.


 The process of compilation and execution of programs is quite fast in C Language as compared to other languages.


 C language combines the convenience and portable nature of a high level language with the flexibility of a low level language. It can be interfaced readily to other programming languages.


 The features like keywords, in-built functions and structures help to improve the clarity and hence understanding of the program.


 The software of c language [Turbo C : : (TC)] is readily available in market and can be easily installed on the computer.


 The syntax errors can be easily detected by the C compiler. The error is displayed with line number of the code and the error message.


 “C” supports recursion. Recursion is a technique in which the function calls itself again and again until a condition is achieved.


 Users can write their own functions and can add them to c language. So that others can use them in their programs. Hence C can be expanded like sea.

Now let us combine all the above three sections/parts to make a complete C program. =>/* Program to print hello world*/ #include<stdio.h>     /*link section*/ Int main()                   /*main function*/ {       Printf(“Hello world”);       Return 0; } Output: -  Hello world Note: - only link and main function sections are compulsory. Documentation section is optional. The various sections/parts of a C program are:- 1)  Document section :-  Gives the brief explanation of the program, author,date written etc….. 2)  Link section :- Include header files with #include statements. 3)  Definition section :- variables and initializes them using # define. 4)  Global declaration section :-   The  variables used throughout the program are declared. 5)    Function Protot...

Programming Style of C Language :-   The style of a C Language describes how to use various elements of C language to increase clarity, readability and understandability of c programs. Various elements that are included to describe c-style are:- 1.Names. 2.Spaces. 3.Line Breaks. 4.Comments. 5.Indentation. 6.Blank lines. 7.Braces. 1.Names : Use Meaningful names for File names. Variable names. Function names. If two (or) three words are used in names, combine them with Underscores. File name should have an extension .c. Function name should be terminated with() Examples: Sum_of_two_numbers.c. file1.c, calendar.c                  /* File names */ Area_of_circle, x. y. z                     /* variable names */   Print_address().read_data(), calc_interest()        ...

Execution of the C Program:-   Developing a program in a compiled language such as C requires at least four steps: 1. Editing (or writing) the program. 2. Compiling. 3. Linking. 4. Executing.   Step 1: Editing : (in turbo C Compiler use the command TC filename.c at dos (prompt)          1. Write C program using Text Editor. Such as Notepad or Turbo C editor.         2. Save program with an extension .C (F2 in Turbo C)         3. File saved with .C extension is called as Source Program.   Step 2: Compiling : (In turbo C compiler use Alt + F9 Key)   1.  Source Program with an extension .C is given as input to Compiler. 2.   Compiler checks for errors, if source code contains errors then goto step1 to modify the source program. 3.  If source code is error free then Compiler Converts it into Object file with an extension obj and...
