        abstract = {C language programming is one of the most important basiclanguages in computer science engineering. Cis a procedural language. C language is programming language developed at AT& T’s Bell Laboratories of USA in 1972. It was designed and written by Dennis Ritchie. C is a popular language because it is reliable, simple and easy to use. An important feature of “C” is its ability to extend itself. A C program is basically a collection of functions. It was first implemented on the digital equipment corporation PDP- 11 computer in 1972. The UNIX operating system and virtually all UNIX applications are written in c language. C was initially used for system development work, in particular the programs that make-up the operating system. C was adoped as a system development language because it produces code that runs nearly as fast as code written in assembly language. When you write any program in C language then to run that program you need to compile that program using a C Compiler which converts your program into a language understandable by a computer. This is called machine language (ie. binary format). So before proceeding, make sure you have C Compiler available at your computer. C is available alongwith all flavors of UNIX and Linux.
If you are working over UNIX or Linux then you can type gcc -v or cc -v and check the result. You can ask your system administrator or you can take help from anyone to identify an available C Compiler at your computer. In this traninig I use c language. I believenobody can learn c ++ and java without learning c language.
