1) C is considered the mother language of modern languages as most compilers, virtual machines, and kernels are written in C. It introduced core concepts like arrays, functions, and file handling that are used in many other languages like C++, Java, and C#. 2) C is a system programming language as it can be used for low-level programming like writing device drivers and operating system kernels. The Linux kernel, for example, is written in C. It cannot be used for internet programming like Java, .NET, and PHP. 3) C is a procedural language as it specifies procedures like functions and methods for solving problems. In C, variables and function prototypes must be declared before use, breaking

1) C as a mother language

C language is considered as the mother language of all the modern


languages because most of the compilers, JVMs, Kernels etc. are
written in C language and most of languages follows c syntax e.g.
C++, Java etc.

It provides the core concepts like array, functions, file handling etc. that
is being used in many languages like C++, java, C# etc.

2) C as a system programming language


A system programming language is used to create system softwares. C
language is a system programming language because it can be used
to do low level programming (e.g. driver and kernel). It is
generally used to create hardware devices, OS, drivers, kernels etc. For
example, linux kernel is written in C.

It can?t be used in internet programming like java, .net, php etc.

3) C as a procedural language
A procedure is known as function, method, routine, subroutine etc. A
procedural language specifies a series of steps or procedures for
the program to solve the problem.
⇧
A procedural language breaks the program into functions, data
structures etc.
C is a procedural language. In C, variables and function prototypes
must be declared before being used.

4) C as a structured programming
language
A structured programming language is a subset of procedural language.
Structure means to break a program into parts or blocks so that
it may be easy to understand.

In C language, we break the program into parts using functions. It


makes the program easier to understand and modify.

5) C as a mid-level programming language


C is considered as a middle level language because it supports the
feature of both low-level and high level language. C language
program is converted into assembly code, supports pointer arithmetic
(low level), but it is machine independent (feature of high level).

Low level language is specific to one machine i.e. machine


dependent. It is machine dependent, fast to run. But it is not easy to
understand.

High Level language is not specific to one machine i.e. machine


independent. It is easy to understand.

C Program with Online C Compiler


In this tutorial, all C programs are given with C compiler so that you
can easily change the C program code.

File: main.c

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

printf("Hello C Programming\n");

return 0; ⇧
}
