This document summarizes a presentation on programming basics given by Abhishek Pratap Singh. The presentation covered an introduction to the topic, motivation for learning programming basics, an abstract of what would be covered, applications of programming, the evolution of the C programming language, and some interesting facts about C and C++. It provided examples of writing C code without using loops or semicolons to demonstrate programming techniques.

1. Presented By:
Abhishek Pratap Singh
B.Tech. (I.T.) – 5th Sem.
Roll No. 03
Presented To:
Mr. Shashi Sharma

2. INTRODUCTION
Topic : PROGRAMMING BASICS
Duration : 19th July 2016 to 11th November 2016
(9 weeks – 8 hours per week)
Website : www.edx.org
University : IIT Bombay

3. MOTIVATION
To gain Accurate & Precise Knowledge of
Programming Basics
To Build a Strong Programming Base.

4. ABSTRACT
(Idea of Topic)
Basic programming skills.
To write C/C++ programs to solve real world computational problems.
Good programming practices.
How to handle large and complex programs.

5. APPLICATION
AREA
Builds the Basic Knowledge for any other programming language.
Programming is EVERYWHERE

6. “System
Programmin
g Language”
1978
‘DEC PDP-11’
‘BCPL’ by Martin Richards & ‘B’ by
Ken Thompson (“Typeless” Languages).
“System
Prog. Lang.”

7. EVOULTIONS IN ‘C’
1) ALGOL – Algorithm Language (mid-1950s)
2) BCPL – Basic Combined Prog. Lang. (Martin Richards)
3) B – Contraction of BCPL or Bon Lang. (Ken Thompson)
4) Tradition C
5) K&R C (Kernighan And Ritchie )
6) ANSI C (ANSI Committee )
7) ANSI/ISO C (ISO Committee )
8) C99 (Standardization Committee)

8. SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT
‘C’ & ‘C++’
How was C made?
 B  C
Why are all OS built by C, C++, etc.? Why not Java?
 (JVM  OS & OS  JVM)  Infinite Mutual Recursion  System Stack
Overflow!
 C  Direct H/W Interaction
 Java  Commercial Prog.

9. SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT
‘C’ & ‘C++’
If C and C++ give the best performance, why do we still code in other
languages?
 Performance – Features – Time – Optimization – Strong
Which language is best C, C++, Pyhton or Java?
 OS(C) – Speed(C++) – Time(Python) – Boss(Java)
Why was the computer language following C called C++ and not C+?

10. SOME INTERESTING QUESTION!!!
WAP to print “C” 100 times,
WITHOUT USING ANY LOOP!!!
WAP to print “C”,
WITOUHT USING ‘;’ SEMICOLON!!!
#include <stdio.h>
int main( )
{
static int i = 1;
printf("%d . Cn", i);
(i == 100) ? exit(0) : main(++i);
return 0;
}
#include <stdio.h>
void main( )
{
while( printf(“Cn") )
{
// NO Semicolons used
}
}
