C” is a programming language developed at AT & T Bell Laboratories of USA in 1972. It was developed Dennis Ritche in late 1970‟s. it began to replace the more familiar languages of that time like PL/1, ALGOL etc.
1. “C” became popular because of its reliability, simple and easy to use
2. It was friendly capable and reliable
3. ALGOL 60 was developed and did not become popular because it was too general and too abstract.
4. They developed “CPU” (Combined Programming Language)
5. Next as it could not come up to make ALGOL 60 better one they moved to “BCPL” (Basic Combines Programming Language. Developed by martin Richard Cambridge university)
6. At the same time a language called “B” written by ken Thompson at AT & T‟S. Bell laboaratories as a further simplification of BCPL.
7.
“C” s compactness and coherence is mainly due to it‟s one man language. Ex- LISP, AASCA
