 Introduction 
“You can increase your knowledge by learning about C this year that is unique 
programming language. Being the oldest, it should be learnt firstly when you 
start up, and it is mainly applied in forming different softwares.” - 10 Best

 Introduction 
 Compilers, libraries and interpreters of other 
 programming languages are often 
 implemented in C. 
  The primary implementations of Python, Perl 5 
 and PHP 
 The GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic 
 Library, the GNU Scientific Library, 
 Mathematica, and MATLAB are completely or 
 partially written in C. 
 And the others such as operating systems, 
 embedded system applications,
