- Two programmers, Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie developed a new language called C, in 1972.
- C language was designed for writing operating systems.
- UNIX operating system was developed using C and assembly language.
- C language was very simple and flexible.
- Very soon it was used for many different types of programs and it quickly became one of the most popular programming languages in the world.
- C has one major problem that is; it is procedure-oriented language.
- This means that in designing a typical C program, the programmer would start by describing the data and then write procedures to manipulate that data.
- In C more emphasis is given on doing things rather than data.
