What is the Software Development Life Cycle?

The Software Development Life Cycle is a process that ensures good software is built.  Each phase in the life cycle has its own process and deliverables that feed into the next phase.  There are typically 5 phases starting with the analysis and requirements gathering and ending with the implementation.  Let’s look in greater detail at each phase:

There are following six phases in every Software development life cycle model:
  1. Requirement gathering and analysis
  2. Design
  3. Implementation or coding
  4. Testing
  5. Deployment
  6. Maintenance

What is cloud computing?

Cloud computing is the next stage in the Internet's evolution, providing the means through which everything — from computing power to computing infrastructure, applications, business processes to personal collaboration — can be delivered to you as a service wherever and whenever you need.
The “cloud” in cloud computing can be defined as the set of hardware, networks, storage, services, and interfaces that combine to deliver aspects of computing as a service. Cloud services include the delivery of software, infrastructure, and storage over the Internet (either as separate components or a complete platform) based on user demand. (See Cloud Computing Models for the lowdown on the way clouds are used.)
Cloud computing has four essential characteristics: elasticity and the ability to scale up and down, self-service provisioning and automatic deprovisioning, application programming interfaces (APIs), billing and metering of service usage in a pay-as-you-go model. (Cloud Computing Characteristicsdiscusses these elements in detail.) This flexibility is what is attracting individuals and businesses to move to the cloud.

Which level the C language is belonging to

S.no
High Level
Middle Level
Low Level
1High level languages provides almost everything that the programmer might need to do as already built into the languageMiddle level languages don’t provide all the built-in functions found in high level languages, but provides all building blocks that we need to produce the result we wantLow level languages provides nothing other than access to the machines basic instruction set
2Examples:
Java, Python
C, C++Assembler

C language is a structured language

S.no
Structure oriented
Object oriented
Non structure
1In this type of language, large programs are divided into small programs called functionsIn this type of language, programs are divided into objectsThere is no specific structure for programming this language
2Prime focus is on functions and procedures that operate on dataPrime focus is on the data that is being operated and not on the functions or proceduresN/A
3Data moves freely around the systems from one function to anotherData is hidden and cannot be accessed by external functionsN/A
4Program structure follows “Top Down Approach”Program structure follows “Bottom UP Approach”N/A
5
Examples:
C, Pascal, ALGOL and Modula-2
C++, JAVA and C# (C sharp)
 BASIC, COBOL, FORTRAN

Key points to remember:

  1. C language is structured, middle level programming language developed by Dennis Ritchie
  2. Operating system programs such as Windows, Unix, Linux are wriiten by C language
  3. C89/C90 and C99 are two standardized editions of C language
  4. C has been written in assembly language

C – Language History

  • C language is a structure oriented programming language, was developed at Bell Laboratories in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie
  • C language features were derived from earlier language called “B” (Basic Combined Programming Language – BCPL)
  • C language was invented for implementing UNIX operating system
  • In 1978, Dennis Ritchie and Brian Kernighan published the first edition  “The C Programming Language” and commonly known as K&R C
  • In 1983, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) established a committee to provide a modern, comprehensive definition of C. The resulting definition, the ANSI standard, or “ANSI C”, was completed late 1988.
