This is your student Mahesh from G division, first year...
ReplyDeleteThe introduction about C programming you gave on the first day of the class was quiet interesting but I dont agree with your point that C is an easy languge to learn... I've learned C and I find the concepts of arrays and pointers very difficult to understand... Its not just my opinion, most of the programmers who have been working in the computer industry for years also feel the same.. The experts say that if you're new to programming world C is the toughest language to begin with.. The the reason I find responsible for that is its basically a low level language and the terms and concepts are not much. So for creating a professional program, its takes much effort and understanding about the language... Anyway you're there for us, I hope you'll clear my doubts...
"There are two kinds of C programmers in this world, One category knows pointer applications and the others dont"...
I told that sentence just to make those who are new to C just comfortable and dont be afraid of the language. By that fear they should not be under the impression that i cant score in this subject and i cant pass the subject.........
