Programming Languages:
Programming languages are the languages in which computer programs are written. Programming languages are divided in to 3 languages:
1. Machine Language
2. Assembly Language
3. High Level Languages (HLL)
Machine Language:
Those languages which computer can understand are called machine language. Each type of computer has its own machine language which consists of zeros (0) and ones (1), because of its binary nature and almost infinite detail practically no programming is done in this language. Instead assembly languages and HLL are used. Regardless of which programming language we use in solving a problem, the program must ultimately be converted to its machine language equivalent for execution by the computer.

Assembly Language:
This language allows the programmer to use all the computer features through symbolic codes and locations rather than machine codes and binary, However use of assembly language requires a comprehensive knowledge of how the computer works. Assembly languages are use to free the programmer from most of the details of the machine language.
High Level Language:
High Level use English words and familiar arithmetic symbols. They are easy to learn and use. A large variety of High Level Languages has been developed to write programs related with various fields.
History Of C Language:
It was developed in early 1970s by Dennis Ritchie. It is one of the most popular programming language use today for wrting all types of applications and software. It combines some features of assembly language and HLL. It has undergone server changes and improvements. It is a very efficient programming Language.
C has become one the most popular programming language today. In the past, it was mainly used for writing system programs such as operating systems, compilers etc. Today, it is preferred by many programmers for writing all types of applications as well such as word-processing programs, database management system, games etc.
C is an efficient programming language. When C programs is translated to machine language it produces very efficient code which is very similar to what would be produces if the program were written in assembly language’s language has a small set of reserve words and the basic data types are simply integer , floating-points number and character. It does not have read and write statements like other language for performing I/O operations. These operations are performed by means of functions provided in standard library.
Some obscure abbreviations are also used in C which save your time and create concise source code. These abbreviations can confuse the beginners but are very useful once you get familiar with the language.
