C programmers

[fazalca]

C programming is a very interesting thing if u go into Graphics in C (use Yeswath kanitkar book) . U can control our mouse u can create ur own paint proram using this C.

using extern keyword we can use the varibles globally.

C is not so flexible in regular exression handling .

Almost all applications internally using C to manage the memory allocation. using malloc, calloc, realloc and free function u can manage the memory very efficiently.

Pointers in C also very important . One variable can hold the address of the other.

We All Know C Is A very Powerful Language From Which Everything Is Derived..
But I Suggest You Study Languages Like VB,C# cause They Are Easy To Code With....
It Will Take Time To call Windows API with C.....
But VB,C# makes this simple
This Is Just An Example Though...
GOOd Luck Anyway....

Hi dear,

Still C is using to develop all real time applications and powerful Telecom billing software (We can't run those highly performance required softwares in Windows Server , It will crash very easily). VB is the outdated software so some few small application u may able to develop using that..

Windows API will be modified in almost all windows releases so compatibility u can't ensure.

But C applications u can run in all servers. Don't forget windows is mainly using as the client desktop 90% or more severs are either Solaris or Unix .

If u can able to write programs in C u can study any other language very easily.

best Regards

thanks :-D:-D:-D

start programming with simpler languages like basic,foxpro rather than C

if some people feel it is hard it doesn't mean that others are same... so please don't discourage others...

C is simple language, if you think it is easy (psychological nature). Same way if you think basic or foxpro are hard it will be hard...

it is between c# and asm, like c++ without the oop

Hi Siva

ok so the following is for people who want to be C programmers. It's of course impossible to master C through a couple of threads in a forum but I hope that you'll get the basics and enough of a grasp to move on from here. I assume you know nothing at all of programming.

First a bit of theory. Not wanting to be boring but there are some nut and bolts you need to know to see the full picture. A computer program is a system and all systems have the following structure.

input ---> [ processing ( and possibly storage ) ] ---> output

Say, a calculator, you type in 2 + 2, that's the input. The calculator decides the answer is 4, that's the processing. The answer 4 is displayed on the screen, that's the output. Programs, whether simple or complicated, are all systems.

Systems can be made out of subsystems. All subsystems have the same structure (input, processing, output), it's just that one's output will be the other's input. Subsystems in a C program are called functions. Think of functions as bricks to build a house.

Computers only deal with 0 and 1. So theoretically you should open an editor and type in 0001110010... etc. That would not be practical. That's why we have computer languages like c. However a C program is text, not executable instructions, so a conversion will have to be done. The software doing the conversion is called a compiler. A compiler is itself a system.

text file containing C program ---> [ compiling ] ---> executable binary file

C is a beautiful language and the single most consistent language ever concieved. That's of course a matter of personal view. It's not the easiest language however. It's what is a called a medium level language. A low level language would be a language like assembly. When programming assembly you write a program that will only be understood by a specifc computer chip (intel, amd, motorola) and deal a lot with technical stuff. So much so that you get very little of practical value done.
In a high level language (PHP, Python) you (almost) never think of technical issues. You focus on the content of what you are doing. The drawback is that those languages tend to be designed for specific purposes and are more suitable for one purpose rather than another. PHP can only do webprogramming. Perl was originally designed for writing reports.
C is medium level. You mostly deal with the practical stuff but there are many technical snags that can make you trip up. You just have to know the guts of the machine.

example

int result = 7 / 2;

The answer put into 'result' will be 3, not 3.5 as you might expect. Variables of the type 'int' can only cope with whole numbers.
