C/C++ programming

C is still one of the most often used programming languages. Well, except for Visual Basic maybe, but I'm talking about real programming. The DOS programs you can find in my projects are all written in Turbo C 3.

One of the reasons that the language is so often used, is that it is the language in which Kernels of Linux, BSD and other Unix-like operating systems are written. The intention of Java was (is?) to build a language that can be used on any platform, something (ANSI) C has established already. The disadvantage is that ANSI C has only a little set of functions that can help you to put things on the screen. Using C++ Builder (by Borland/Inprise) or Visual C++ (Microsoft) eliminates this problem, but it makes it almost impossible to transfer your program to some OS other than Windows.

The link below leads to a copy of a site that I have mirrored sometime ago. It's not my work, so I don't deserve the credit. I just downloaded it for easy access, since the original server was not always reachable.

Go to the C syntax index page, if you like. It will take you away from these pages (use the "back" button to get back here).
