why c language

You may have doubt, why we are using such difficult language(Difficult to understand) if we have High-level languages like Java and .Net.

When the computer starts it loads Operating System from Hard disk to RAM(Random access Memory), To load OS we need Program called BIOS(Basic Input Output Software) program.The BIOS is a kind of System Software.Such programs are written in languages like C.

If you connect a printer or any other hardware to computer first time it prompts message "installing required software". Device Driver is Program which required if we connect an external device to our Computer. Such Device Driver software coded in Languages like C.

Artificial Intelligence is Technology (making machines which behave like human) we need certain programs for such devices, these programs written in the programming language like C.

As you know computer can understand binary language, we need to convert our Program written in any Programming Language to binary language,
It is easy to convert middle-level language into binary language as compared to high-level language.

C Language is Hardware friendly and can be converted easily into machine language. for the devices which are not powerful enough to convert high-level Programs into machine language, we need a program in middle or low-level language. C is middle level and easy to understand compare to low-level language or machine language hence we use C Language to program such devices.

Compiler, Interpreter and Assembler

Hello Programmers, every programmer must know about Compiler, Interpreter and Assembler as a programmer if we know programming languages, we can't interact with computer directly becauase computer understand Binary Language. In order to communicate with computer we required mediator (translator) between computer and we human . the programme gives instruction in programming language which he knows, then translator convert it into machine language according to instruction. Translator: It is System Software( it is nothing but program which it design either to run hardware or our application program) which is use to convert programming language code into machine, Translator classified into three types 1. Compiler Compiler is system software which is use to convert programming language instruction into binary language in single step. i.e when you compile your program compiler check all instruction of a program and generate machine code for that instruction which are syntactically cor...
