C programming language (often, just "C") is a general-purpose, procedural, imperative computer programming language developed in the early 1970s by Dennis Ritchie for use on the Unix operating system. It has since spread to many other operating systems, and is now one of the most widely used programming languages[citation needed]. C also has had a great influence on many other popular languages[1], especially C++ which was originally designed as an enhancement to C. It is distinguished for the efficiency of the code it produces, and is the most commonly used programming language for writing system software [2] [3], though it is also widely used for writing applications. Though not originally designed as a language for teaching, and despite its somewhat unforgiving character, C is commonly used in computer science education, in part because the language is so pervasive.

The Great Man, Dennis Ritchie has written C language (The King of Programming World). C is a programming language which born at “AT & T’s Bell Laboratory” of USA in 1972.
Why it was named as “C”?
Many of C’s basics and ideas were obtained from the earlier language B. (Ken Thompson have developed B Language.) BCPL and CPL are the earlier forebear of B Language. CPL is basic Programming Language. In 1967, BCPL Language (Basic CPL) was created under a scaled down version of CPL. As many of the features were obtained from “B” Language that’s why it was named as “C” Language. After 7-8 years C++ came into the reality which was first example of object oriented programming.
Without Dennis there is no C, if no C then no C++means no UNIX, Windows, Linux, No Crysis warhead &other cool games, No Photoshop,NoFirefox,No VLC,No FLStudio,No PlayStation,No XBOX &the List Continues…
90%of the Application in the world is written in C.
Let’s have a look excellent video made by gootly academic to give Extra-ordinary Tribute to Dennis Ritchie (a founder of C language).

The URL below has information, free compilers, editors and articles for a lot of programming languages. Look around there for a broad, general rundown on languages.

to the dumbasses that said C is a high level programming language.
WHAT THE ****.
C is 1 step higher than assembly. It is a LOW LEVEL PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE.

C is one the greatest computer languages. Its very powerful, simple to use and works lightning fast.
