C Language

C is a general-purpose, procedural, imperative computer programming language. C was originally developed by Dennis Ritchie between 1969 and 1973 at Bell Labs and used to re-implement the Unix operating system.

It has since become one of the most widely used programming languages of all time with C compilers from various vendors available for the majority of existing computer architectures and operating systems.

C has been standardized by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) since 1989 (see ANSI C) and subsequently by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
