    Lect2 History of C

    Uploaded by

    Aryan Negi
    C was developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs to create the UNIX operating system. It is a general-purpose, procedural programming language that is widely used for system programming. C is easy to learn, produces efficient programs, and can be compiled on many platforms. It was used to write UNIX and is still commonly used today for writing operating systems and databases like Linux and MySQL. A basic C program includes preprocessor commands, functions, variables, statements, expressions, and comments like "Hello World" which prints that text.
