Document Summary

C is a small programming language developed by dennis ritchie in the early 70"s. It ran on very resource-limited machines, so it is very simple and compact. C is designed to be easy to translate to binary code that runs on most computers. Still one of the most popular languages. Many built-in matlab commands are written in c. In order to run c programs on a machine, we have to translate a text file, containing the output c program to machine code using another program called a compiler. We then run this machine code program (executable) by typing its name as a command. This is different from matlab where the matlab environment interprets scripts one line at a time. When we develop c programs we create two files. We used a text editor, such as gedit, to make a new file containing the text for our c program.
