What is C

c is a programming language developed at AT & T's Bell laboratories of usa in 1972. it was designed and written by a man named Dennis Ritchie . In the late seventies C began to replace the more familiar languages of the time like Pl/I,ALGOL etc no one pushed C it wasn't made the official bell labs language thus with our any advertisement c reputation spread and its pool of users grew . Ritchie seems to have been  rather surprised that so many programmers preferred c to older languages like FORTRAN the newer ones like pascal and APL .
