Features of C Language

Image
Features of C Language C is the widely used language. It provides many  features that are given below. Simple Machine Independent or Portable Mid-level programming language structured programming language Rich Library Memory Management Fast Speed Pointers Recursion Extensible 1) Simple C is a simple language in the sense that it provides a  structured approach  (to break the problem into parts),  the rich set of library functions ,  data types , etc. 2) Machine Independent or Portable Unlike assembly language, c programs  can be executed on different machines  with some machine specific changes. Therefore, C is a machine independent language. 3) Mid-level programming language Although, C is  intended to do low-level programming . It is used to develop system applications such as kernel, driver, etc. It  also supports the features of a high-level language . That is why it is known as mid-level language. 4) S...

Types of LOOPS

Types of C Loops There are three types of loops in C language that is given below: do while while for do-while loop in C The do-while loop continues until a given condition satisfies. It is also called post tested loop. It is used when it is necessary to execute the loop at least once (mostly menu driven programs). The syntax of do-while loop in c language is given below: do {   //code to be executed    } while (condition);   Flowchart and Example of do-while loop while loop in C The while loop in c is to be used in the scenario where we don't know the number of iterations in advance. The block of statements is executed in the while loop until the condition specified in the while loop is satisfied. It is also called a pre-tested loop. The syntax of while loop in c language is given below: while (condition){   //code to be executed    }   Flowchart ...

C if else Statement The if-else statement in C is used to perform the operations based on some specific condition. The operations specified in if block are executed if and only if the given condition is true. There are the following variants of if statement in C language. If statement If-else statement If else-if ladder Nested if If Statement The if statement is used to check some given condition and perform some operations depending upon the correctness of that condition. It is mostly used in the scenario where we need to perform the different operations for the different conditions. The syntax of the if statement is given below. if (expression){   //code to be executed    }   Flowchart of if statement in C Let's see a simple example of C language if statement. #include<stdio.h>      int  main(){     int  number=0;   ...
