WHY C???

1. In late seventies, it replaced the more familiar languages like PL/I, ALGOL etc.
There were no advertisements but then too C’s reputation spread, and since then its users are growing at a rapid pace.

2. C helps us to learn the basic language elements, hence migration to other languages like C++, JAVA becomes easy.

3. The basic programming skills incorporated by C helps us to use the program organizing principle called – Object Oriented Programming.

4. Even today there is no language which can beat C when it comes to performance or speed of execution and the reason why the major parts of popular OS like windows and UNIX are written in C.

5. The programs which require both speed and limited memory to run like those in cell phones are written in C.

6. Moreover, C provides several language elements that make hardware interaction feasible without compromising the performance.
