     C Installation
To start learning C programming, you only have to install the C compiler in your system, and nowadays C and C++ both compilers come as a single integrated package, which serves the purpose of C and C++ both program development.

What is Compiler in C?

A compiler is a computer program that transforms human readable (programming language) source code into another computer language (binary) code.
In simple terms Compiler takes the code that you write and turned in to the binary code that computer can understand.
C compiler is a software application that transforms human readable C program code to machine readable code. The process of transforming the code from High Level Language to Machine Level Language is called “Compilation”. Human readable code is the C program that consists of digits letters, special symbols etc which is understand by human beings. On the other hand, machine language is dependent on processor and processor understands zeroes and ones (binary) only. All C program execution is based on processor which is available in the CPU; that is why entire C source code needs to be converted to binary system by the compiler.
This tutorial is written for Windows, Unix / Linux and MAC users. All code has been tested and it works correctly on all three operating systems.

List of C Compilers for Windows OS

Since there are various compilers available in to the online market, here are the lists of some of the frequently used ones:
·         CCS C Compiler
·         Turbo C
·         Minimalist GNU for Windows (MinGW)
·         Portable C Compiler
·         Clang C++
·         Digital Mars C++ Compiler
·         Intel C++
·         IBM C++
·         Visual C++ : Express Edition
·         Oracle C++
All of these above compilers for C are free to download, but there are some other paid C compilers also available or programmers can get it for trial version:
·         Embarcadero C++
·         Edison Design Group C++
·         Green Hills C++
·         HP C++ for Unix
·         Intel C++ for Windows, Linux, and some embedded systems.
·         Microsoft C++
·         Paradigm C++

C Compiler Installation on Windows

To use C compiler in Windows, you can install any one software mentioned below.
·         You can download a 90-day trial version of Visual Studio
·         You can download Dev-C++ IDE to develop C and C++ application.
·         You can install MinGW

C Compiler Installation on UNIX/Linux

If you are using UNIX / Linux, then most probably C compiler called GCC will already in your system. To check if you have it installed, you can type cc or gcc at command prompt.
$ gcc -v
If for some reason it is not Installed on your system, you can download it from gcc.gnu.org/install.

C Compiler Installation on MAC

Xcode development environment came with GNU C/C++ compiler, You can install it from Apple’s website.
You can download Xcode from developer.apple.com/technologies/tools.

Python Lists

Python Lists Dealing with data in a structured format is quiet generous, and this is possible if those data are set accordingly in a specific manner. So, Python provides these data structures named ‘lists’ and ‘tuples’ that are used to organize data in  single set. Python has 6 built-in sequences and among them the most famous are “lists and tuples”. The lists are containers that hold a number of other objects in a given order. It usually puts into practice the sequence protocol and allows programmers to add or remove objects from that sequence. Each element of the sequence is assigned a number i.e. he index and the first index is 0 (zero). This versatile data-type of Python is written in a sequence of list separated by commas between expressions. Creating Lists To build a list, just put a number of expressions in square brackets. The syntax is: Syntax: lst1 = [ ] # lst1 is the name of the list lst2 = [ expression1 , …. , expression_N ] Example: #!/usr/bin/python ls...

C++ Qualifiers and Storage Classes

C++ Qualifiers and Storage Classes Qualifiers and storage class are smaller but important programming concept that helps to make the quality of a variable more accurate for using that variable within the program. In this chapter you will learn about how qualifiers are used with variables and what the roles of different storage classes in C++ are. What is a Qualifier? A qualifier is a token added to a variable which adds an extra  quality , such as specifying volatility or constant-ness to a variable. They act like an adjective for a variable. With or without a qualifier, the variable itself still occupies the same amount of memory, and each bit has the same interpretation or contribution to the state/value. Qualifiers just specify something about how it may be accessed or where it is stored. Three qualifiers are there in C++. These are: const : This is used to define that the type is constant. volatile : his is used to define that the type is volatile. mutable:  applies to non...
