C is a general purpose computer programing language developed in 1972 by Dennis Richie at the bell telephone laboratories for use with UNIX operating system.Although c was developed for implementing system software.It is also widely used for developing portable application software.
C is the one of the most popular language for all time and there are very few computer architectures for which a C compiler does not exist.C has greatly influenced many other popular programming languages,most notably c++ which began as an extension to c.The initial development of C occurred at AT&T Bell telephone laboratories between 1969 and 1973.
According to Richie,the most creative period occurred in 1972.It was named "C" because it's features were derived from an earlier language called "B",which according to Ken Thompson was a stripped-down version of the BCPL programming language.The origin of C is closely tied to the development of UNIX operating system,originally implemented in assembly language on a PD-7 by Richie and Thompson in incorporating several ideas from colleagues.
