From my point of view.In nigeria we do not have many C programmers.Because :
1. Every thing in C is done manually
2. C is easier to learn than java though C has some complex data structure
3.In java it is easy for a novice programmer to wright application,rather in C it is not that easy.
But C is the father of all modern OOP language like java,swift javascript,php, they all evolved from C.
However C is useful in following areas:
1. Write your operating system and become bill gate

2. Program and modify a robot

3.write large graphical program

Even GTA we play was coded in C.C is very powerful

spread mat here

Does it mean there are no C programmers. I mean C not C#

nurain150:
Post your experience in C,up coming project games, framework,kernel development here

We will. However it will be better if you start it so we know will how to contribute.

Thanks

C has various data type like int,char,double,float..The greatest thing in C is you can declare your data type

Have you been wondering how to setup your work environment.SEE LIST OF COMPILERS YOU CAN DOWNLOAD.
1.GNU C by gnu foundatation
2.Turbo C++ for windows(all little bit old)
4.Borland C++ for windows
5.Visual Studio for windows

Declare datatype? Don't get u, how is that special

BlueWizAngel:


Declare datatype? Don't get u, how is that special

that's why u need c language

c is a way of life

plz don't quote me or I will cast u to void

all languages declare datatype, well not all but u get the idea

BlueWizAngel:

C is hilarious .i mean you can give ur own datatype A name
typedef int lag;
Then lag is ur datatype representing int.
lag count=5;

Oh, yeah, Java does something similar too

Java evolved from C But C is used in embedded system and OS which you cannot use java

Cool, so what av u done with C

Continue and please post projects that we can build in C, sometimes knowing the language is not enough, it's hard to think of what i can do with it, that will ginger that passion to read.

That is what they don't know

pls someone shldnt help cross check this program...
I want the counter, score and grade to print one one line but wen I run it, only the counter and the scores print on the same line, the grade prints on the next line... how can I go about it guys.. any idea

/*A program to grade students scores*/

#include<stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
//variable declaration
int grade;
unsigned int I;

//function that prints table header
printf("%s%13s%13s\n","s/n","score","grade";

//counter loop
for(i=1;i<=100;++i)
{


printf("%2u\t ",i); //prints counter vertically

scanf("%d",&grade) //score input


if(grade>=70) //grading selection
{
printf("%26s\n","A";
}
else
{
if(grade>=60)
{
printf("%26s\n","B";
}
else
{
if(grade>=50)
{
printf("%26s\n","C";
}
else
{
if(grade>=45)
{
printf("%26s\n","";
}
else
{
if(grade>=40)
{
printf("%26s\n","E";
}
else
{
printf("%26s\n","F";
}
}
}
}
}




} //end for loop



} //end main

That's because u a printing ur grades with the "\n" character u av to remove it. And I can't even find where u printed out the score

That is not a datatype. It's more a type alias and it is not exclusive to C.
Let's forget C++ for a minute. Swift, F#, Rust, etc. provide keywords like that too.
I thought you were going to mention structs and unions.

BlueWizAngel:

Though C is easy to learn to build software is nor easy.But i use C in kernel development cmd apps not gui

Thats a little bit true.

BlueWizAngel:

That is what they don't know

What do you mean by this

adeolagbemi:

Yes because after 200 level in comp sci,they drop it and go for java .To develop awesome apps...C is not built for purpose of developing. apps intially by denies richie..it was built for developing UNIX OS

[quote author=nurain150 post=49028919][/quote] haba bros... it compiles naa..

ERCROSS:
haba bros... it compiles naa..

Check na u declared printf(format;......and no parenthensis

nurain150:

that's becoz u are still learning c

while coding on c u must know what u want not like python on java u just write and think

c is for people that knows what they are doing

nurain150:

c is not easy to deal with that why everybody choose java python etc

This is the problem I have with thread like this in nairaland, we always deviate and just add noise, I ask what type of apps can we do with C and prospect for learning it, I know c but haven't used it because most times other languages make it easier for me to use them than C so am asking again for what special purpose can we say C is the way, I can throw in an example I know whne it comes to emulation C is the choice to go. So post projects one can touch to get active with C if not than this thread is another just talking about C and which is not useful.


Sorry for the rant this is becoming too common on nairaland

bro if u are waiting for a code to give u a head start in Nairaland sorry u won't get such here

I make open source binary both in c and python

but my code are not sir

and for what to make with c :

any thing u can think of to develop

just find a program on other language

and implement it in c thats the best way to know how powerful c is

Here are some interesting facts about C programming language.

C language was originally developed by Dennis Ritchie between 1969 and 1973 at AT&T Bell Labs.
The UNIX Operating system was totally written in C programming language by 1973.
C Language was originally developed for creating system applications that direct interacts to the hardware devices.
B language is the precursor of C.
C is considered to be the mother of all today's modern programming languages.

This is mostly force. C does not have any complex data structures as u claim. Arrays , structs,enum,union are not complex like hashamap,set,vector.etc .
2. C is not the father of all Oop language or any one of them at all. Smalltalk is the father of OOP language. Sure most prpgramming language was written in C and then compiled with their own compiler.

GTA was not programmed in C. The rockstar game engine that powers c++ was written in 90% c++.
