I am studing BEIT(Bachelor of Engineering in Information and Technology) right now in Everest Engineering College , Nepal . We should study C Programming in our Ist semester and most of my friends asked to teachers , why C is important in these vast days ? Maybe this is the biggest questions to a lot of studenta or basic programmers who have a great faith on them to be a Programmer either in Java or Python .
At first It is required to know what's difference between C with other programming compilers.C is the first high level language which is a very simple , easy and works for simpler programs . It is true that C can't be used for doing complex programs . Then why it is important ? It has been a big question .
What will happen if a novelist or say writer dosn't know knowledge of alphabets ? What would happen if astronauts doesn't know about solar system ? My points is that C is also the same according to alphabets in literature or say basic knowledge to others programs such as C++ .
In 2016, C was the 9th most active language on GitHub with 202k pull requests in the year. Compare that to the top three languages: JavaScript with 1,604k pull requests, Java with 763k pull requests, and Python with 744 pull requests. Ruby, PHP, C++, and CSS also beat C.At first glance, it may seem like C has been left in the dust by newer, fresher, more exciting languages — C is 45 years old, after all — but GitHub isn’t exactly the most accurate picture of the software industry. GitHub has a huge bias toward open source and trendiness.
C is not a dead language. In fact, IEEE Spectrum magazine ranked it as the No. 2 top language in 2017 ahead of Java, C#, and JavaScript. If you were to learn C this year, it would not be a waste of your time or energy.
The following list illustrates the importance the C programming language, in no particular order:
©The C language is small and relatively easy to learn.
©C compilers can produce highly efficient code.
©C compilers and cross-compilers are widely available for a large array of hardware targets, from tiny eight-bit microcontrollers to giant mainframes. The availability of compilers enables highly portable source code to be written, when appropriate disciplines are followed.
©C, although it is a high-level language, provides access to some fundamental low-level concepts such as memory addresses and dynamic memory management - concepts that are hidden by many other languages.
©C has been used to implement (in whole or in part) several major operating systems and kernels, including Unix, Linux, MacOS, and Windows.
©C has been used to implement (in whole or in part) runtime environments supporting execution of platform-independent code (e.g., the Java Virtual Machine, the .NET CLR, etc.).
©C is often used to implement efficient libraries for less-efficient languages. For example, many libraries for Python are implemented in C.
©Compilers and interpreters for a wide variety of programming languages have been written in C.
©C remains the most popular programming language for programming microcontrollers in embedded systems.
©C has influenced the following programming languages: PHP, C++, LPC, Perl, Vala, Objective-C, PCASTL, AWK, JavaScript, Limbo, D, C#, MOO, SISAL, Pike, ECMAScript, Joy, C--, Ferite, Yoix, ColdC, Aikido Programming Language, Nickle, BitC, Processing, NWScript, SAC programming language, Vala, Kaya, MIVA Script, Corba IDL, QuakeC, S-Lang, Cilk, Unified Parallel C, Split-C, Claire, VisSim, Java, Go, AMPL, Alpoca, Draco, S, Alef, Game Maker Language, BAIL…
These all are some of the concepts that I gain from my learning or different programmers who cleared their doubt . Now I may think your doubt is also cleared .
