Learn and Master C Programming - A brief history of C language

This video tutorial covers the evolution of C programming standards, starting from the original C89, also known as Standard C, which was standardized by ANSI in 1989 and later adopted by ISO as C90. It discusses subsequent versions like C95, C99, and C11, highlighting their features and improvements. The tutorial also explains how Visual Studio supports these standards, with a focus on C89/C90 for this course. The video concludes with a preview of the next lecture on installing and configuring Visual Studio 2015.

• It was the first version to include single-line comments.

• It was the first version to support object-oriented programming.

• It introduced support for international character sets.

• It is known as the standard C and is supported by most modern compilers.

Which feature was introduced in the C99 standard?

• Support for object-oriented programming

• Support for single-line comments

• Support for international character sets

• Introduction of namespaces

What was the main reason for the introduction of the C11 standard?

• To introduce object-oriented features

• To standardize features appearing in modern compilers

• To remove support for single-line comments

• To add support for international character sets

Which version of Visual Studio first added support for C99?

• Visual Studio 2012

• Visual Studio 2010
