Why use C?

Why use C?

C was initially used for system development work, particularly the programs that make-up the operating system. C was adopted as a system development language because it produces code that runs nearly as fast as the code written in assembly language. Some examples of the use of C might be −

Operating Systems
Language Compilers
Assemblers
Text Editors
Print Spoolers
Network Drivers
Modern Programs
Databases
Language Interpreters

What is Array

  Arrays a kind of data structure that can store a fixed-size sequential collection of elements of the same type. An array is used to store a collection of data, but it is often more useful to think of an array as a collection of variables of the same type. Instead of declaring individual variables, such as number0, number1, ..., and number99, you declare one array variable such as numbers and use numbers[0], numbers[1], and ..., numbers[99] to represent individual variables. A specific element in an array is accessed by an index. All arrays consist of contiguous memory locations. The lowest address corresponds to the first element and the highest address to the last element. How to make picture puzzle using JavaScript Declaring Arrays To declare an array in C, a programmer specifies the type of the elements and the number of elements required by an array as follows − type arrayName [ arraySize ]; This is called a  single-dimensional  array. The  arraySize  must...

Data Types in C

 Data Type in C Programming Type of data is know as Data type. int,float,char are example of data type in c There are two types 1. Primary data type 2. Derived data type. Primary data types Integer(int),floating(float),character(char),void are the primary data type Derived data types  arrays, functions, structures and pointers are Derived data types. Integer type Integers are used to store whole numbers. Floating type Floating types are used to store real numbers. Character type Character types are used to store characters value. void type void type means no value. This is usually used to specify the type of functions.
