History of C

and lowercase letters precisely, and it gets badly confused if you don’t. Another thing to watch for is the punctuation: the semicolon (;) and the braces ({}). You must enter these characters exactly where indicated in the example. (Overland, 18)While the code may look complex, the idea behind it is rather simple. The line “#include ” tells the compiler, at compile time, “Hey! Look for this file and put the contents of it at the top of my file!” Why use iostream? The use of iostream in this program is solely for the purpose of streaming text to the screen - iostream contains code to aid in the process of streaming text to the screen. In fact, without this file, the command “cout **‘Hello World!’ **ENDL;” program.”…“This program, written in C, looks quite similar to its successor, C++. Stroustrup when implementing C++, kept the syntax of C by the large and expanded its horizons by adding the O-O abilities of Simula67 and Smalltalk 80. In C, the same program is written:#include int main(void) {printf(“Hello World!n”);return(0);}The only differences between this code and the C++, are the command used to output the string “Hello World!” and the syntax of declaring the main function. The “n” functions in the same manner that “**ENDL;” the next.The compiler changes the code of C or C++ to machine language - a language that is interpretable by the computer’s processor. The beginning machine code of the “Hello World!” program written in C looks like this:457F 464C 0101 0001 0000 0000 0000 0000 0002 0003 0001 0000 03D0 0800 0034 0000(Parsons)This is only 1/120th of the whole program and, as you can see, machine language programming can be rather tedious. Languages like Simula67 were created to allow programmers easier ways to program the machines and to increase the number of programmers in the field by making...
