C Language
The objectives of this course are to make the student understand programming language, programming, concepts of Loops, reading a set of Data, stepwise refinement, Functions, Control structure, Arrays. After completion of this course, the student is expected to analyze the real-life problem and write a program in ‘C’ language to solve the problem.
Uses of C Language
At first, you may overlook the fact that C is an important language. If you need to develop a mobile app, you need Java (for Android), Swift and Objective C (for iOS). And there are dozens of languages like C#, PHP, ASP.net, Ruby, Python for building a web application.
Then, where is C programming?
Python is used for making a wide range of applications. And, C is used for making Python. If you want to contribute to Python, you need to know C programming to work on Python interpreter. Some of the larger open source projects where C programming is used are Linux Kernel, Python Interpreter, SQLite Database.
