Introduction To C Programming Language
C Language is a general purpose, structured
programming language. Dennis M. Ritchie and Brian W. Kernigahn developed C at
Bell Laboratories in USA. Their underlying goal was to develop a language that
was simple and flexible enough to be used in a variety of different processors.
Since those early days C has undergone several changes. Existing features have
been modified; new features have been added and some obsolete once deleted. With
the advent and proliferation of microcomputers, several implementations of C
emerged. In 1983, the American National Standards Institute formed a committee
to produce a C programming language standard. This "ANSI C" was completed in
1988.Major producers of compilers have adopted this standard.
