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

Fundamentals of Programming
Trending!
Programming is the art of writing computer instructions in a language that the computer can interpret and/or understand. In this topic, we shall look at some basic definitions and introduce some basic concepts in programming.
Definition 1. A computer is an electronic machine that accepts data as its input, process these data based on some instructions to produce information as it output. These instructions that guide a computer on how to process the data is what we refer to as a program.

CLIENT/SERVER COMPUTING
Trending!
Client/Server is a term used to describe a computing
model for the development of computerized systems.
This model is based on the distribution of functions
between two types of independent and autonomous
processors: servers and clients. A client is any process
that requests specific services from server processes.

INTER-PROCESS COMMUNICATION OR PROCESS SYNCHRONIZATION
Trending!
Concurrent access to shared data may result in data
inconsistency. Maintaining data consistency requires mechanisms to ensure the orderly execution of cooperating processes. Suppose that we wanted to provide a solution to the consumer-producer problem that fills all the buffers.

PROCESS SCHEDULING:
Trending!
CPU is always busy in Multiprogramming. Because CPU switches from one job to another job. But in simple computers CPU sit idle until the I/O request granted. Scheduling is an important OS function. All resources are scheduled before use.(cpu, memory, devices…..) Process scheduling is an essential part of a Multiprogramming operating systems. Such operating systems allow more than one process to be loaded into the executable memory at a time and the loaded process shares the CPU using time multiplexing
