Some intresting facts about c programming: C programming is a relatively minimalist programming language. The original plan in its development was that it could be simply compiled with little access to memory and only a few instructions for each element. For these reasons, C programming can be written similarly to assembly language, and is sometimes referred to as “portable assembly.” Even though C programming was originally intended for use with the Unix operating system and its affiliates, it has spread to far more applications than its designers ever dreamed or intended. And, even though it is still most associated with Unix, it is now utilized on a number of other operating systems. C programming is an Algol based language, so it has a lexical variable scope, a tape system which prevents meaningless operations, and only a few keywords (at least relative to other languages). Because C programming was originally designed as a systems implementation language, it has no automatic garbage collection, no semi dynamic arrays, no support for object-oriented programming, no support for networking, and no closures or functions as parameters.
