What is C?
•Back in the 1970’s, Bell Labs scientists Brian Kernighanand Dennis Ritchiestripped down a BASIC computer language to only its most useful components, and called it B.
•Bwas used to fit a program onto a computer with limited resources (memory, processing, power).
•Further development by Dennis Ritchie and Bell Labs for efficiency and practical use resulted in a new language.
•The new version was given the next letter of the alphabet, C

–Why all the functions?
–Will C be used later on?



Why Learn C?
•C is a root language
•Many systems currently in existence branched out from C programming.
•C is still used for creating the operating systems that run computers.
•Languages descended from C like C++ and Java are used commonly in all fields


Why All The Functions?
•Every system can be thought of as subsystems.
•Each subsystem can be developed as a function.
•This is called a Procedural Language.
•Given some input, perform some task, and return an output.
•This methodology allows for a system to be expanded and debugged far more efficiently than everything in one system.
•Its a question of organization.
