Dear Visitors,

In this lesson you will know about the History of C language......

SO FRIENDS LETS START OUR LESSON

• History of C language:-

                           C is a general purpose high level programming language. It was developed by Dennis Ritchie at AT&T Laboratories in 1972. It was derived from an earlier programming language named B. B language was developed by Ken Thompson in 1970. This language provided the basis for the development of C.

                  In the past, C language was mainly used for writing system programs (Software) under UNIX operating System. These system software were operating systems, compilers, utility programs etc. The UNIX operating system and its tools were also written in C.

                 Today, C is the most popular programming language. It is preferred by many programmers for developing all types of applications such as Word Processing Programs, Spread Sheet programs, database management systems, games etc. It is also used to write programs for controlling many other electronic devices and industrial processes.

                                 As time passes, new features in the C have been added. The earlier version of C was not totally machine independent. A standard version of C was proposed by ANSI in late 1980s. ANSI stands for "American National Standard Institute". The ANSI developed standard version of the C Language known as ANSI C.

                           Hope this lesson is really helpful for you. So, learn free education and Spread the knowledge.
