Why C and C++ programming language is compulsory to learn?
Today, we are living in a digital era where everything runs on digital platform in either of the way. Be it coffee vending machine to the automatic transmission, each of them uses binary or machine language as the basic coding. However, there are many programming languages that allow developers to be more and more productive. These languages may provide much larger built-in libraries that may simplify their work with JSON, XML, UI, Web Pages etc. Inspite all of these higher level, more advanced languages people still prefer to go for C and C++ which makes it unbeatable or say compulsory for certain applications. There are various reasons for why one should learn C and C++ languages. These may be pointed out in following ways:-
• These are portable and efficient language as it is as close to the machine as possible while it is universally available for existing processor architectures. With this, one may interact directly with the internal hardware of the computer which expands the knowledge on the architecture of the computer. Since, these languages are portable in nature, programs developed in C/C++ can be moved from one platform to another. This is the most important reason why people prefer to learn or say, mandatory to learn, as it servers the purpose where applications require multi-platform of multi-device development.
• These languages has a very small run time as compared to other higher level languages.
• These languages are irreplaceable as many major applications like Adobe Photoshop, Amazon and Facebook uses C and C++ in their core libraries. Hence, it makes it mandatory to learn these languages if one want to find career and work with these bodies as a developer.
• One of the basic reasons is that it has a variety of job opportunities that comes from game development, rendering engines and the windows applications.
• One of the most important reason for learning C and C++ because it has abundant library support in the form of Standard Template Library (STL) which is very useful as it helps in writing code compactly and quickly as required.
• These programming languages used for coding all major operating systems such as Windows, Linux, Android, Ubuntu, iOs etc. The windows applications are written in C++ while Android applications are written in Java along with C/C++ with non-default run-times for C++ support. Also, C++ can be used to develop the core applications in iOS.
