What is C?
C is a general-purpose computer programming language developed by Dennis Ritchie in 1972 at the Bell Telephone Laboratories for use with the UNIX operating system. Today, C is running under a number of operating systems including MS-DOS (Microsoft Disk Operating System).
The C compiler combines the compatibility of assembly language (low level language) with the feature of a high-level language therefore C is a higher level programming language. It is well suited for writing both system software and business package. C is a most robust language whose rich set of built in functions; operators can be used to write a complex program. C is highly portable. This means that C program written for one computer can be run on another computer without any modification or little modification. C is a procedure oriented (procedural) and structural programming language.
Low-Level and High-Level Language
Low-Level Language:
- In low level language programming we directly deal with memory addresses and CPU registers.
- These programs directly convert into source code to code which is understandable by CPU.
- The example of low level language is Assembly Language.
High-Level Language:
- In high level language programming to refer the memory addresses we use variable and pointers and there is strict syntax which is to be
followed.
- Source code firstly compiled and converts into machine code. These machine codes convert into the code which is understandable by CPU.
- High level languages are C, C++, Java etc…
