C is a general-purpose computer programming languageoriginally developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie at the Bell Telephone Laboratories to implement the Unix operating system.[2]
Although C was designed for writing architecturally independent system software,[3] it is also widely used for developing application software.
Worldwide, C is the first or second most popular language in terms of number of developer positions or publicly available code.[4][5] It is widely used on many different software platforms, and there are few computer architectures for which a C compiler does not exist. C has greatly influenced many other popular programming languages, most notablyC++, which originally began as an extension to C, and Javaand C# which borrow C lexical conventions and operators.
