However, there is a close analogy between learning English language and<a href=\"https:\/\/programesecure.com\/top-programming-books-beginners-guide\/\"> learning c programming language<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/programesecure.com\/top-10-best-c-programming-books-complete-overview\/\">classical method<\/a> of learning English is to first learn the alphabets used in the language, then learn to combine these alphabets to form words, which in turn are combined to form sentences and sentences are combined to form paragraphs.<\/p>\n<p>Learning c programming language\u00a0is similar and easier. Instead of straight-away learning how to write programs, we must first know what alphabets, numbers and special symbols are used in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/programesecure.com\/download-c-programming-language-video-pdf-ebooks\/\">C\u00a0programming<\/a> language, and then how using those constants, variables and keywords are constructed.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, how are these combined to form an instruction. A group of instructions would be combined later on to form a program. This is illustrated in the following figure.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brief_Introduction_to_C_programming_language\"><\/span>Brief Introduction to C programming language.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_What_is_C\"><\/span>\u00a0<b>What is C?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We are going to learn a language called C .C is a programming language\u00a0<b>developed at AT &amp; T\u2019s Bell Laboratories of USA in 1972<\/b>. It was designed and written by a man named\u00a0<b>Dennis Ritchie<\/b>. C is a very\u00a0<b>flexible and powerful.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>It is famous as the language the\u00a0<b>UNIX operating system<\/b>\u00a0was written in, and was specially designed for this. However its use has now spread way beyond that field and it is currently very popular. In the late seventies C began to replace the\u00a0<b>more familiar languages of that time like PL\/I, ALGOL, etc.<\/b><\/p>\n<div>No one pushed C. It wasn\u2019t made the \u2018official\u2019 Bell Labs language. Thus, without any advertisement C\u2019s reputation spread and its pool of users grew. Ritchie seems to have been rather surprised that so many programmers preferred C to older languages like FORTRAN or PL\/I, or the newer ones like Pascal and APL. But, that\u2019s what happened.<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Why c programming language\u00a0seems so popular<\/b><\/p>\n<p>C programming language \u00a0is\u00a0<b>reliable, simple and easy to use<\/b>. Moreover, in an industry where newer languages, tools and technologies emerge and vanish day in and day out, a language that has survived for more than 3 decades has to be really good.<\/p>\n<div>Although C matches the capabilities of many computers, it is independent of any particular machine architecture. With a little care it is easy to write portable programs, that is, programs that can be run without change on a variety of hardware. The standard makes portability issues explicit, and prescribes a set of constants that characterize the machine on which the program is run.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%9CThe_only_way_to_learn_a_new_programming_language_is_by_writing_programs_in_it%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>\u201cThe only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.\u201d<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"C_provides_the_fundamental_control-flow_constructions_required_for_well-structured_programs\"><\/span>C provides the fundamental control-flow constructions required for well-structured programs:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0statement grouping,decision making\u00a0<b>(if-else)<\/b>,<\/li>\n<li>selecting one of a set of possible values<b>\u00a0(switch),<\/b><\/li>\n<li>looping with the termination test at the top\u00a0<b>(while, for)<\/b><\/li>\n<li>or at the bottom<b>\u00a0(do)<\/b>,<\/li>\n<li>Early loop exit\u00a0<b>(break).<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"C_itself_provides_no_inputoutput_facilities\"><\/span>C itself provides no input\/output facilities:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div>There are no READ or WRITE statements, and no built-in file access methods.
