what is c language?

Answer Posted / guest

C is a general-purpose computer programming language developed
between 1969 and 1973 by Dennis Ritchie at the Bell Telephone
Laboratories for use with the Unix operating system
C is an imperative systems implementation language.
It was designed to be compiled using a relatively
straightforward compiler, to provide low-level access to
memory, to provide language constructs that map efficiently to
machine instructions, and to require minimal run-time support.
C was therefore useful for many applications that had formerly
been coded in assembly language..
