     C PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE

Programming Language consists of two words first is programming and the second word is Language.

First, we know about the meaning of these two words:

Programming means the set of instructions.

Language means the set of notations, used to communicate with each other.

  What is C?

C is a programming language developed at Bell Laboratories of the USA in 1972. It was written by a man named Dennis Ritchie. C programming is an excellent language to learn to program for beginners.

Programming Language

Basically, two levels of languages are present in the Computer system:

Low-Level Language (Like Assembly, Machine level)

High-Level Language (Like C, C++, Java)

Low-Level Languages are Two types:

1. Machine Level Language(Binary)

Advantage:  1. A translator is not required.

Disadvantage: 1. Not user-friendly

                         2. Difficult to write code.

2. Assembly Level Language

Advantage: 1. Friendly to user

                     2. Easy to understand and use.

      

Disadvantage: 1. Translator required.

High-Level Languages are Two types:

1. Procedural Language

Procedural programming can sometimes be used as a synonym for imperative programming, where we need to define logic by writing some procedures. Like C, C++.

2. Non-Procedural Language

Instead of writing a series of sequential instructions, a programmer defines the actions that the program must perform when certain events occur. Like- SQL.

Translators

1. Compiler:

Compiles the source code to find errors and transform the high-level module to the machine level module, as a whole.

2. Interpreter:

Checks the source code line by line and transforms it into machine-level language.

3. Assembler:

It can translate the assembly level module into a machine level module.
