School of Information Science and TechnologySpecial Weekly Report· Issue 2 ·
The second issue of the “25th Information Science Weekly Report” has arrived as scheduled. After experiencing the freshness and inspiration of the C language, we are gradually advancing on the path of knowledge. In this issue, we have compiled two articles about the history of the C language, along with recent study notes and course recommendations. May this weekly report continue to accompany you on your learning journey, allowing your code to not only produce results but also to run with clarity of logic and creative confidence.
“The Bible” Emerges
In 1978, Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie co-authored “The C Programming Language”. This book is renowned for its concise and incisive writing style, known as “K&R C”. The first “Hello, World!” program in the book has become the first line of code for almost every programmer, regarded as the “magic incantation” of the programming world.
UNIX‘s Official Configuration
The greatest success of the C language is that the UNIX operating system itself was rewritten in C in 1973. This means that as long as a C compiler is written for different machines, the entire UNIX system can be ported over with almost no modifications! This is a significant advantage, and as a result, the C language has dominated the operating system field alongside the popularity of UNIX.
Study Notes Compilation
Below are the notes compiled by the study committee for everyone:
