Module 3: C Language and Kernel Interaction

Front

High-level vs low-level programming.

Back

High-level programming languages are abstracted from hardware details, making them easier to read and write; low-level languages are closer to machine code, offering fine-grained hardware control.

Front

Exception handling in low-level programming.

Back

Typically, low-level programming languages do not have built-in exception handling mechanisms.

Front

OOP in low-level programming?

Back

Low-level languages usually do not support object-oriented programming features; OOP is common in high-level languages.

Front

Structure of the C language.

Back

C is a procedural language with a structured syntax, including functions, variables, and control flow statements.

Front

Main function in C.

Back

The main() function is the entry point of a C program where execution starts.

Front

Return value of main in C.

Back

main usually returns an int representing the program's exit status; returning 0 indicates success.

Front

Compiling a C program.

Back

Use a compiler like gcc with the command gcc filename.c -o outputname.

Front

Statically typed vs dynamically typed.

Back

Statically typed languages require variable types at compile-time; dynamically typed languages determine types at runtime.

Front

C primitive types.

Back

Primitive types in C include int, char, float, double, and void.

Front

C data types.

Back

C data types include primitive types, pointers, arrays, structures (struct), and unions.
