 Getting started with C

Before getting started with C we need some basic tools to compile and execute the program. Before going on here I’m going to briefly explain the compiler.

But before that keep in mind that computers only understand machine language. There are two types of computer languages:

Ø Low-Level Language: The programs in low-level languages are easy to understand for computers and difficult for humans. These are further divided into two types:

·       Machine Language: It is the type of language in which a program is written in binary (in the form of 0’s and 1’s) form and it is the only language that is directly understood by the computer. The programs are machine-dependent, which means a program written for the Motorola processor might have different outputs on the intel processor. The computer does not need a translator. It is the native language of computers.

·       Assembly Language: The assembly language is one step higher than the machine language. In assembly language, machine instructions are replaced with English-like words known as mnemonics (Pronounced as Ne-Monics). A program written in assembly language requires a translator called an assembler to convert the program code into machine code

High-Level Language: It is the type of language which is near to human languages. Its instructions are similar to the English language such as goto, exit break, etc. All programs are written according to the language syntax. Some examples are C, C++, Java, Python, and Pascal.
