CTSD 1 - Unit 1

C was developed by Dennis Ritchie in 1972 at Bell Laboratories to be used in the UNIX operating system. It inherits features from previous languages like B and BCPL. There are standard steps to developing a program: requirements, analysis, design, coding, testing, and maintenance. C is a simple, machine independent, structured programming language with features like pointers, recursion, and memory management. A C program structure includes documentation, libraries, definitions, global declarations, the main function, and subprograms. The main function declares and executes the program using variables and user-defined functions.

CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION TO C LANGUAGE
HISTORY OF C LANGUAGE

• C is developed by Dennis Ritchie in the year 1972 at Bell Laboratories(USA).


• It is a General- purpose, Structured, Machine Independent, Simple and Flexible programming language.
• Initially, C language was developed to be used in UNIX operating system. It inherits many features of previous
languages such as B and BCPL.
PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT STEPS
• The program development steps or phases that we follow a sequence of steps to develop a program in any
programming language.
• Generally, the program development steps contains 6 phases, they are as follows
1. Requirements
2. Analysis
3. Design
4. Coding
5. Testing
6. Maintenance
FEATURES OF C LANGUAGE
• Simple
• Machine Independent or Portable
• Mid-level programming language
• structured programming language
• Rich Library
• Memory Management
• Fast Speed
• Pointers
• Recursion
• Extensible
STRUCTURE OF C PROGRAM
Documentation – comments about program
Link- instructions to compiler
Definition- defines all symbolic constants
Global declaration- variable that is frequently used
Main()-
Declaration: all variables
Execution: programming
Subprogram- user defined functions
