INTRODUCTION
In order to study C language we must know about other language as well. There are two types of programming language.
- High Level language
- Low Level language
1-Low level language:
There are two type of low level language which is as follows
- Machine Language
- Assembly Language
Machine Language:
Machine language is low level language. It store information in the form of binary code i.e.0 &1. Program written in machine language for one computer will not work on another computer because of design difference. This is not user friendly.
Assembly Language:
Assembly language is low level language. It allows the programmer to use the entire computer feature through symbolic code and location rather than machine code. It frees the user for most of the detail of machine language. Now days this language are used by programmers.
2-High Level Language:
There are many types of High level language. Some of them are as follows
- PASCAL
- FORTRAN
- COBOL
COBOL:
It stands for Common Business Oriented Language. It was develop in 1859 for solving business computing. It is successful in last forty years in computing, payroll& inventory.
FORTRAN:
It stands for Formula Transaction. It is develop for IBM 704 Company by John Beckon and other 13 programmers in a period of 1954-1957. It is develop for solving scientific &engineering problems.
C – Language:
C language is neither high level nor low level. It is mid-level language because it provide both languages features.
