What is C language

Ans. C is a high-level and general-purpose programming language that is ideal for developing firmware or portable applications. Originally intended for writing system software, C was developed at Bell Labs by Dennis Ritchie for the Unix Operating System in the early 1970s.

C programming is an imperative, procedural, and general-purpose computer programming language developed in 1972 by Dennis M. Ritchie at Bell Telephone Laboratories to develop the UNIX operating system.

C is the most widely used computer language.
The main features of the C language include low-level memory access, a simple set of keywords, and a clean style, these features make the C language suitable for programming systems such as operating systems or compiler development.

*Characteristics of C language

It is a robust language with a rich set of built-in functions and operators that can be used to write any complex program. The C compiler combines the capabilities of an assembly language with features of a high-level language. Programs Written in Care are efficient and fast.

*Explain the basic structure of the c program

Consists of comments, some description of the program, programmer name, and any other useful points that can be referenced later. Provides instruction to the compiler to link function from the library function. The basic structure of C programming: To write a C program, we first create functions and then put them together.

*What is the preprocessor directive in c?

Before a C program is compiled in a compiler, source code is processed by a program called a preprocessor. This process is called preprocessing. Commands used in preprocessor are called preprocessor directives and they begin with the “#” symbol.

*Why learn C programming?

The C programming language is ESSENTIAL for students and working professionals to become great software engineers, especially when working in the software development domain.

I'm going to list some of the key benefits of learning C programming:
  • Easy to learn.
  • Structured language.
  • It produces efficient programs.
  • It can handle low-level activities.
  • It can be compiled on a variety of computer platforms.

*Facts about C :
  • C was invented to write an operating system called UNIX.
  • C is a successor to the B language that was introduced in the early 1970s.
  • The language was formalized in 1988 by the American National Standard Institute (ANSI).
  • The UNIX operating system was entirely written in C.
  • Today C is the most used and popular system programming language.
  • Most of the latest generation software has been implemented using C.
  • Today's most popular MySQL Linux and RDBMS operating systems have been written in C.

"Hello World" using Programming C :

Just to give you a little bit of excitement about C programming, I'm going to give you a little conventional Hello World programming.

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
   printf("Hello, World..!");
   return 0;
}


*Applications of C Programming :

C was initially used for system development work, particularly the programs that make up the operating system.
C was adopted as a system development language because it produces code that runs almost as fast as code written in assembly language. 


*Some examples of the use of C are:
  • Operating Systems
  • Language Compilers
  • Assemblers
  • Text Editors
  • Print Spoolers
  • Network Drivers
  • Modern Programs
  • Databases
  • Language Interpreters
  • Utilities

List vs Tuple

List vs Tuple (Image by - Sharma Guides | Subham232330) List | |- Syntax :- [2,3,4] | |- Mutable :- Elements can be changed after creation. | |- Length :- Variable length. | |- Memory :- List takes more memory than a tuple. Tuple | |- Syntax :- (2,3,4) | |- Immutable :- Elements cannot be changed after creation. | |- Length :- Fixed length. | |- Memory :- It takes less memory than a list.

Joins in DBMS

DBMS Joins: Inner, THETA, Outer, Equi Types of Join Operations Join in DBMS is a binary operation that allows you to combine join product and selection in one single statement. The goal of creating a join condition is that it helps you to combine the data from two or more DBMS tables. The tables in DBMS are associated using the primary key and foreign keys. Types of Join There are mainly two types of joins in DBMS: Inner Joins: Theta, Natural, EQUI Outer Join: Left, Right, Full Inner Join Inner Join is used to return rows from both tables which satisfy the given condition. It is the most widely used join operation and can be considered as a default join-type An Inner join or equijoin is a comparator-based join which uses equality comparisons in the join-predicate. However, if you use other comparison operators like “>” it can’t be called equijoin. Inner Join further divided into three subtypes: Theta join Natural join EQUI join Theta Join Theta Join allows you to merge two tables ba...

Book Photography Tips

বইছবি সুন্দর করার জন্য কয়েকটি পরামর্শঃ ১। প্রথম তো দিনের আলোতে বইয়ের ছবি তুলুন। গুমোট অন্ধকারে তোলা ছবির লুক ভালো আসে না। রাতে লাইটের আলোতে তোলা ছবির লুকও যথেষ্ট ভালো আসে না। ২। যে বইটার ছবি তুলবেন, শুধুমাত্র ঐ বইটার দিকে ক্যামেরার ফোকাস রাখুন। ডেকোরেশনের জন্য অন্য বই সাথে রাখতে পারেন, কিন্তু ঐসকল বইয়ের নাম যেন দেখা না যায়। ঐসকল বইয়ের পেছনের মলাট খোলা রেখে ছবি তুলুন। একটা বই উল্টো করে অন্য বইটা ঢেকে দিন। ৩। বইয়ের বেকগ্রাউন্ডে পুরোপুরি সাদা বা এক কালারের রঙিন কাপড় বিছিয়ে ছবি তুলুন। ছবির সৌন্দর্য অনেকগুণ বাড়বে। ৪। পারতপক্ষে বইয়ের সাথে দু-একটি বুকমার্ক রাখুন। ছবি মানানসই দেখাবে। ৫। সৌন্দর্য বৃদ্ধির জন্য প্রয়োজনীয় উপকরণ যেমন:  চায়ের কাপ, মগ, কালার পেপার, ফুল, রঙিন পাতা, ইত্যাদি আনুষঙ্গিক জিনিসপত্র সাথে রেখে ডেকোরেশন করে এরপর বইয়ের ছবি তুলুন। আগের চেয়ে বেটার আসবে ছবি। ৬। ছবি তোলার আগে উপকরণগুলো বিভিন্ন পজিশনে সাজিয়ে নিন। কোনো উপকরণ দুটোর বেশি রাখবেন না। হিজিবিজি দেখাবে। আবার অনেকগুলো উপকরণ সাথে রেখে ছবি তুলতে যাবেন না। বেমানান লাগবে। ৭। বইয়ের বিষয়বস্তুর সাথে খাপ খায় এমন শব্দ, বাক্য সাদা...
