C Programming Fundamentals
Joseph Cavanagh · 2013
The C programming language was developed by Bell Laboratories in 1972 and has become the predominant high-level programming language. As a high-level language, C programs are machine independent; that is, they can be run on different computer systems. Assembly language uses an assembler to convert the symbolic program to machine code; whereas, the C programming language uses a compiler to convert the source code into machine code.
