Well, i dont pretend to be an expert but i have myself done a lot of reaserach on c/c++ programing language and thought would definetly like to share with you guys.
so from where this stuff started... ?
well people who are very much interested about the history of "c" then i guess the best way to find out is to google ur self .
even then i think the breif history might do the trick

Well languages come and go but "c" has remained for a very long time and i am very sure it will still be one of the most persistent , powerful , languages of all times.
so starting of i would like u to know a few things.
the c language is been complied using a complier. now a complier is something that complies the code which is been written in C language.
Now, for those who dont get what an compiler is ?
its just a normal (well does a gr8 job) program that decodes ur instructions which is in (higher level form )
to computer undestandable form (assembly level language).
well the higher level form is just a human undestandable form thats english for ex.
assembly level is the binary level (well just 0 and 1). its really suprising that computer just undestands 0 and 1 .well i couldnt dream in my life that computer could be so dumb
So coming to the point well there are many compliers on net but i found this one

its ok if u use ne compiler .. but the language is the same.
