In which Language is Linux written?
Linux supports any written language: it understands Unicode natively, so it can display the characters of any language with the appropriate locales included. As far as programming languages, Linux is written in C, but almost any language, from assembly to C to C++ to Python to Perl to .NET can be used on it.
What is the difference between C and Linux?
There is very little difference in the C compiler between Unix and Linux; in some cases (the gcc compiler) it is the same. The differences come in when using system calls; some system calls do not exist in Unix or Linux, although most do. The program I work on compiles the same way (for the most part) between all commercial versions of Unix and several variants of Linux. In other words, the code is fairly portable across platforms.
What is use of c language in real life?
Writing programs in it. Some of them are: linux, windows, bash, Oracle, MySql, Apache
What Services are needed to program in Linux?
To program in linux, you just have to pick out a programming language, and use your favorite text editor or IDE to start programming. Most prodominantly, programs are written in C or C++ and can be compiled with the Gnu C Compiler (gcc) or g++ if your program is in an interpreted language, such as perl or python, you just have to make sure you have the interpreter installed.
What is the Linux program language called?
Linux is a platform, and as such supports a myriad of programming languages. Of these languages C, C++, Java, Python and Perl are very popular, but there are many other programming languages. Some, like Python and Perl are 'interpretive' and similar in this respect to 'BASIC'. C and C++ are compiled, and Java sits somewhere between them.

Can you install C language in Linux?
C isn't a program, or something you install; it is a programming language for writing software. Linux and most of the programs that run on it were written in C, and a C compiler and libraries are supplied with most systems, or are readily available.
