History of C Programming Language

History of C Programming

History  of  C - The programming language C was created in 1972 in the Bell Laboratory by computer scientist Denis richi, who invented the C language. C programming language did not become like this, it took many years to become made, read further, you will understand

ALGOL is the root of modern languages ALGOL, introduced by (International commity) in the early 1960s. And all programming languages used today have their origin (ALGOL), because it is one of the first The language in which USE of BLOG DIAGRAM was used. And because of this language, ideas like STRUCTURE language started coming up.

In 1967, Martin Richards developed the BCPL (Basic Combined Programming Language) language for writing system software. Ken Thompson then created a new language in Sun (1970) using many of the features of BCPL, which he named it B. Which was used in Bell Laboratories to create early versions of the UNIX operating system. 

1972 - Dennis Ritchie at AT&T Bell Laboratories developed the language from ALGOL, BCPL and B, which came to be known as Traditional C, which added a lot of power type features like looping, looping, because UNIX operating system.

Was created to make, or say UNIX OP is written in C language. And in 1978, kernighan & Richie further improved it and brought C programming language to the whole world, which brought revolution in the whole world.

1983 ANSI (AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD INSTITUTE) created a committee which recognized a version of PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE C in 1989 after being recognized by International STANDARD ORGANIZATION, this version of C came to be known as C89.

Then in the year 1990, ANSI (AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD INSTITUTE) fully certify it.

In 1999, C99 invented another new version of C language which used new feature such as Data type- int float char, void,, function array, which made it easier for complex to complex words. Then further improve it and add new features which we find very easy to understand today.

And in today's day, the new version of C language is C11, which has been made by the Standardization Committee and its improvement will continue.
