S0 Hell0 fr13nd5, Here we will see History of C language in short. As we all know that, in the past days C language was so popular, although still now, it's come under the top 10 trending programming languages. So here we will see some points of the history of the C language.

History of C language short note

  • In the early 1970s, the 'C' programming language was developed by Dennis Ritchie at AT&T(American Telephone & Telegraph) Bell laboratories located in Murray Hill, New Jersey.
  • In the beginning, the 'C' is designed for programming in the operating system called Unix or we can say that to be used in the Unix operating system.

FACT:-   After coming C, the almost Unix operating system was rewritten in  C language.

  • The C language is derived from the B language and that's why, before the C language is developed named is given B language. which was written by Ken Thompson at AT&T Bell laboratories and B language was adopted from BCPL(Basic Combined Programming language), which was developed by Martin Richards at Cambridge University.
  • In 1982 a committee was formed by ANSI(American National Standards Institute) to Standardize the C language.        
  • At last 1989, the standard for C language was introduced known as ANSI C
  • Later on, the ANSI C standard was received by the International Organisation for Standards(ISO).

CHARACTERISTICS OF 'C' LANGUAGE  NOTES   

    1. 'C' language is a middle-level language, as it contains the features of low level & high level. It means it is suitable for writing both application programs and system programs.
    2. 'C' is a small language and consisting of only 32 English words which are known as keywords(like if, else, for, break, etc).
    3. It is considered a structured programming language because 'C' contains the control structure needed to write a structured program.
    • we can say, the 'C' language is a basic language because of this language, we can learn another higher language like C++, java, etc.
    • it was designed for programming in the operating system called Unix.
    • there is hardly any compute platform for which c's compiler is not available.
