Description
C Language Overview
This chapter describes the basic details about C programming language, how it emerged,
What are strengths of C and why we should use C.
The C programming language is a general purpose, high level language that was
originally developed by Dennis M. Ritchie to develop the UNIX
operating system at Bell Labs. C was originally first implemented on the DEC PDP
11 computer in 1972.
In 1978, Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie produced the first publicly available
description of C, now known as the K&R standard. The UNIX operating system, the C compiler, and essentially all UNIX applications programs have been written in C.
The C has now become a widely used professional language for various reasons.
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 of B language, which was introduced around 1970.
The language was formalized in 1988 by the American National Standard
Institute.(ANSI).
The UNIX OS was totally written in C by 1973

UCU 101: DEVELOPMENT STUDIES
Trending!
In this lesson, we will learn the basic concepts of development and underdevelopment.
We will also briefly discuss some of the theories of development. These are the classical theory, modernization and dependency theories. Some of the recent theories such as the world systems theory will also be introduced.

UCU 105 HIV/AIDS, Drug & Substance Abuse Notes
People can become infected with HIV from other people who already have it, and when they are infected they can then go on to infect other people. Basically, this is how HIV is spread.

UCU 102: Introduction to Computer Studies
Information is derived from data. Information is processed data or meaningful data that is organized in a manner that humans can understand. (e.g., multiplying the hours worked by the hourly rate to get each employee’s gross earnings).Information is an important component in decision making.

SMA 336: ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS II
Trending!
In mathematics, an ordinary differential equation (ODE) is a differential equation (DE) dependent on only a single independent variable. As with other DE, its unknown(s) consists of one (or more) function(s) and involves the derivatives of those functions. The term "ordinary" is used in contrast with partial differential equations (PDEs) which may be with respect to more than one independent variable, and, less commonly, in contrast with stochastic differential equations (SDEs) where the progression is random.
