Introduction to C Programming Introduction Books “The Waite Group’s Turbo C Programming for PC”, Robert Lafore, SAMS “C How to Program”, H.M. Deitel, P.J. Deitel, Prentice Hall What is C? Why use C? Mainly because it produces code that runs nearly as fast as code written in assembly language. Some examples of the use of C might be: Operating Systems Language Compilers Assemblers Text Editors Print Spoolers Network Drivers Modern Programs Data Bases Language Interpreters Utilities History In 1972 Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs writes C and in 1978 the publication of The C Programming Language by Kernighan Ritchie caused a revolution in the computing world In 1983, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) established a committee to provide a modern, comprehensive definition of C. The resulting definition, the ANSI standard, or ANSI C, was completed late 1988. Why C Still Useful? C provides: Efficiency, high performance and high quality s/ws flexibility and power many high-level and low-level operations ? middle level Stability and small size code Provide functionality through rich set of function libraries Gateway for other professional languages like C ? C++ ? Java C is used: System software Compilers, Editors, embedded systems data compression, graphics and computational geometry, utility programs databases, operating systems, device drivers, system level routines there are zillions of lines of C legacy code Also used in application programs Software Development Method Requirement Specification Problem Definition Analysis Refine, Generalize, Decompose the problem definition Design Develop Algorithm Implementation Write Code Verification and Testing Test and Debug the code Development with C Four stages Editing: Writing the source code by using some IDE or editor Preprocessing or libraries: Already available routines compiling: translates or converts source to object code for a specific platform source code - object code linking:
