Introduction: -
C is a programming language developed by Dennis Ritchie in 1972. Programs are structured by defining and calling functions. Program flow is controlled using loops, if statements and function calls. Input and output can be directed to the terminal or to files. Related data can be stored together in arrays structures. C allows the most precise control of input and output.
History of C language: -
C is a general purpose programming language. It was developed at AT&T Bell Laboratories, USA in 1972. It was designed and developed by Dennis Ritchie. It was based on an earlier computer language called B. The B language was developed by Ken Thompson in 1969-70. For this reason, earlier version of the C language was called K&R C (Kernighan and Ritchie C).
The C language is a simple, easy to learn and powerful language. As more and more people started using C language, need to standardize its rules was felt. To meet this need, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) developed a standard for the C language in late 80s. This version of the C language is known as ANSI C.
