New Evaluation of the Language C for Educational, Engineering and Scientific Purposes

The focus of the paper are the difficulties experienced with the digital programming language C and its derivatives when these languages are thought to students simultaneously with other programming languages. Only part of the most confusing and perturbing learning process characteristics of the language is discussed. Suggestions of repairing some of the drawbacks are proposed. It is considered that the “minimalism” of the digital programming language C should not go against the logic of the human language and mathematical notation in its basic forms. During the teaching of the subject the logical justification of the material is important and the taught programming language must be a logical follower of the human language, standard mathematical notations and pseudo code. There is a strong need to develop programming languages for students, newcomers and occasional programmers. The paper is not complete review with corrections of the C language and its standards. ANSI C or C89 is the main discussed dialect of C.
