Ch
In various contexts, Ch can refer to several different subjects:
1. Ch (Programming Language)
Ch is an embedded scripting language developed by SoftIntegration, Inc. It is primarily used for scripting in engineering and scientific computing applications. Here are some key points:
- Ch is designed to be compatible with C/C++ syntax, allowing for easy integration and extension of C/C++ programs.
- It supports dynamic typing, which means variables do not need to be explicitly declared before use.
- Ch includes extensive libraries for numerical computing, plotting, and interfacing with hardware.
- It is often used for prototyping, embedded scripting, and educational purposes in programming courses.
History:
- Ch was first introduced in the late 1990s as an interpreted version of C for educational purposes.
- Over time, it evolved to support more features of C++ and to cater to the needs of engineers and scientists for quick prototyping and data analysis.
