Features of C language

Features of C language

  • It is a robust language with rich set of built-in functions and operators that can be used to write any complex program.
  • The C compiler combines the capabilities of an assembly language with features of a high-level language.
  • Programs Written in C are efficient and fast. This is due to its variety of data type and powerful operators.
  • It is many time faster than BASIC.
  • C is highly portable this means that programs once written can be run on another machines with little or no modification.
  • Another important feature of C program, is its ability to extend itself.
  • A C program is basically a collection of functions that are supported by C library. We can also create our own function and add it to C library.
  • C language is the most widely used language in operating systems and embedded system development today.

What are Keywords in C?

What are Keywords in C? Keywords are preserved words that have special meaning in C language. The meaning of C language keywords has already been described to the C compiler. These meaning cannot be changed. Thus, keywords cannot be used as variable names because that would try to change the existing meaning of the keyword, which is not allowed.(Don't worry if you do not know what variables are, you will soon understand.) There are total 32 keywords in C language. auto double int struct break else long switch case enum register typedef const extern return union char float short unsigned continue for signed volatile default goto sizeof void do if static while What are Identifiers? In C language identifiers are the names given to variables, constants, functions and user-define data. These identifier are defined against a set of rules. Rules for an Identifier An Identifier can only have alphanumeric characters(a-z , A-Z , 0-9) and underscore( _ ). The fir...

Eigen Values and Eigen Vectors

Eigen Values and Eigen Vectors Eigen vector of a matrix A is a vector represented by a matrix X such that when X is multiplied with matrix A, then the direction of the resultant matrix remains same as vector X. Mathematically, above statement can be represented as: AX =  λX where A is any arbitrary matrix,  λ are eigen values  and X is an eigen vector corresponding to each eigen value. Here, we can see that AX is parallel to X. So, X is an eigen vector. Method to find eigen vectors and eigen values of any square matrix A We know that, AX = λX => AX – λX = 0              => (A – λI) X = 0 …..(1) Above condition will be true only if (A – λI) is singular. That means, |A – λI| = 0 …..(2) (2) is known as characteristic equation of the matrix. The roots of the characteristic equation are the eigen values of the matrix A. Now, to find the eigen vectors, we simply put each eigen v...
