C

C was a procedural, block structured programming language that was developed at Bell Telephone Labs in 1972. C programming provided a shift from assembly-level coding for applications to developing them in a human-readable form that would be compiled to machine-readable form for execution. It provided memory-access through 'pointers' and mapping of machine instructions, due to which it found varied usage from embedded microcontrollers to supercomputers. It became the base for other popular languages like C++ to be designed as an extension to C.

There are so many myths about Java. This month, I'll look at some of the more persistent ones, and try to dispel any doubt.

Fiction :
Applets can read your hard-drive, and delete files

Fact :
Any attempt by an applet to access local files will throw a SecurityException. If uncaught, the applet will crash, but no file access will occur.

The only exception to this rule is for digitally signed applets, which may be granted additional privileges. Your browser will display a dialog box, asking you if you want to accept the identity of the applet author. Choose no if unsure, and you'll always be safe.
