Programming Language
In this, we will take a look at the introduction part of the C programming language, we will see its history and then we will discusswhy you should study this C programming language when there are so many other programming languagesare available. So now first let us see what is a programming language. now all of know that this computer is a generalpurpose machine that can perform Many computational task. But the thing is, these computer's theyreally can't do anything on their own. so to get something done by using this computer,we have to give the instructions to this computers. And these instructions which are given tothe computers to get a particular job done are called as the Program and the person whois going to write these instructions is called as the Programmer and the language.in whichthese instructions or these programs are written is called as the programming language.
Introduction to C Programming Language
Now here as a programmer, we will write the program or the instructions using any of the programming language available, and then thiscomputer will work according to the instructions. now C language is one of the programming language which we can use and write these computer programs. now let's see the history of the C programming language. now this C programming language was invented in 1972 at Bell Laboratories of USA by a team lead by Dennis Ritchie and Dennis Ritchiecalled his new language and the C language, because it was the successor of another existinglanguage at that time called as the “B language” and this B Language was highly influencedby another existing old language which was called as the BCPL at that time. now originally this C language was createdto write the operating systems and compilers and then later because of its simplicity andits features C became one of the popular programming language and even to this day C is one ofthe most popular programming language used. AllRight. now you guys maybe thinking like Ok, why shouldI have to study this C language when there are so many other languages like C++, JavaC+ are available.
now to learn any programming language, thatlanguage should be simple and easy to learn. And this C is one of the simple and easy tolearn language. if you don't know anything about computerprogramming then the C programming language is one of the language which you can use andget started with your programming career. Another thing is, if we learn the C programminglanguage then you will have the better understanding of the basic computer programming concepts. This C language has the concepts like thePointers and dynamic memory allocation And many more. now if you understand all this basic conceptsof the computer programming then you can understand all those other advanced concepts very easily. now another thing is if we learn any programminglanguage and once you start writing the programs, the program that you write using that languageshould be efficient and reliable and also it should provide high performance. so if you talk about the execution speed thenthe code written in the C programming language can run much faster than many of the Otherprogramming languages and also the C programming language is widely used when there are veryless resources are available for example in the embedded devices.
Why c is called “Mother of all languages”
now the next thing is they will learn theC programming language, then learning languages like C Plus Plus Java or C Sharp will be alot easier. That’s because as I said before, if youknow the C programming language then you will have the better understanding of the basicprogramming concepts and if you want to learn the language is like C++ Java or C Sharp thenit will be a lot easy. These languages, they use something calledas the “ object oriented programming “ approach and you know if you know the C, then learningthis object oriented programming with be a lot more easy and also major part of manymodern programming languages are written using the C programming language and also theselanguages, they take a lot of features from the C language and that’s why C languageis also called as the “Mother of all languages” So if we learn the C then learning any otherlanguage will be a lot more easy. And then the next thing is, C is a general purpose programming language. it means that you can use the C programminglanguage to create different types of programs of the softwares. for example you can use the C programminglanguage to write the device drivers. we can use it to create the word processor you can use it while developing the games and also this C programming language is widelyused for developing the major parts of the operating system and also this C is widelyused in the embedded devices where you know you get very less resources and you need towrite the efficient programs.
just for an example the Curiosity Rover sentto Mars by NASA has most of the code written in the C programming language and what I'mtrying to say here is if you learn the C programming language then you can create different typesof programs or the softwares using it. so this is it guys, This is about the introductionto the C programming language, what is its history and why you should study this C programminglanguage. now if you are an absolute beginner and youreally don't know about computer programming, programming languages and all these things,then and I have a particular word which explains all these basic topics and I will put thelink in the description box and you guys can check it out and if you like this video thengive a thumbs up, if you don't like it then give a thumbs down and if you think that thisvideo will help any of your friends, then do share this video with them and if you wantto watch more tutorials like this, then subscribe to my channel and once again Thank you forWatching and I'll see you next tutorial.
