C language

C and C++ are closely related programming languages used to create computer programs. Using these languages, programmers write documents called source files and then use a program called a compiler to covert the source files into program files that can be executed by a computer.

The C programming language was designed to be small and portable. As a result, there are some necessary facilities that are not part of the language. For example, storage allocation, string handling, and I/O are provided by the standard library.
The C language was originally designed by Dennis Ritchie for the DEC PDP-11 computer system and the UNIX operating system\, between 1969 and 1973. In the three decades after its first appearance, C became one of the most successful programming languages in history.

In addition to becoming the language of choice for most UNIX programming as microcomputers became capable of running high-level languages C became the language of choice for developing MS-DOS, Windows and Macintosh programs.

C has succeeded because it has satisfied a need for a system implementation language sufficiently abstract and fluent to describe algorithms and interactions in a wide variety of environments, yet efficient enough to displace assembly language.
