Why should you learn to program in C? • It is the de facto substandard of programming languages. – C runs on everything. – C lets you write programs that use very few resources. – C gives you near-total control over the system, down to the level of pushing around individual bits with your bare hands. – C imposes very few constraints on programming style: unlike higherlevel languages, C doesn’t have much of an ideology. There are very few programs you can’t write in C. – Many of the programming languages people actually use (Visual Basic, perl, python, ruby, PHP, etc.) are executed by interpreters written in C (or C , an extension to C). • You will learn discipline. – C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. – You can learn to avoid this by being careful about where you point it. – Pain is a powerful teacher of caution. • You will fail CPSC 323 if you don’t learn C really well in CPSC 223 (CS majors only). - Study24x7
