Best Answer

The first compiler couldn't be compiled since there were obviously no compilers! It had to be assembled, using assembly language and an assembler. Once you have one compiler, you can easily write others. Today, most compilers are written using C++, including the C++ compiler itself (the original was written in C, of course).

The first compiler was called A-0 and was programmed by a woman named Grace Hopper. It was programmed in machine code.

The first compiler was written by Grace Hopper, in 1952, for the A-0 programming language. The FORTRAN team led by John Backus at IBM is usually credited as having introduced the first complete compiler in 1957.

Can a PIC 16c77 be programmed in C language?

The answer depends on the question...If the question asks if you can write programs for the PIC 16C77 in C, then you can, so long as you have an appropriate C compiler and set of libraries in the development system that you bought for the PIC.If the question asks if you can change the programmed code of a PIC 16C77 using C, then the answer is yes and no. You need a hardware programming device to write your program to the PIC's EEPROM. That hardware device can be programmed in C.In all probability, however, it seems that the interpretation of the question is the first one, the answer, again, based simply on availability of an appropriate compiler and library.The reason for the "complexity" in this answer is that "programming" means two different things. One is to write application code, and the other is to "program" the device (write to its EEPROM) with said application code; and the question did not specify which.
