C Programming

Introduction to Programming

• Programming is the process of writing some instructions (software) for computers to follow
• Computers only understand binary (0 and 1), also known as machine language
• Machine code (language) is difficult to remember and is quite lengthy, even for small operations

Introduction to Programming

• Assembly language was developed to replace binary code with symbolic representation
• Each hardware (computer) required its own binary code or its assembly instruction
• High level languages were created to improve programming efficiency
