Q.3 When Was C language Developed

Ans : C language was developed in 1972 at bell laboratories of AT&T

Q.4 What are the main feature of C language

  • Simple
  • Machine Independent or Portable
  • Mid-level programming language
  • structured programming language
  • Rich Library
  • Memory Management
  • Fast Speed
  • Pointers
  • Recursion
  • Extensible

Q.5 What is the use of printf( ) and scanf( ) function in clanguage
