What is 'C' ? or Introduction of 'C' language

             'C' is a programming language developed at AT&T's BELL Laboratories of USA in 1970.
It was designed and written by a man named Daniel Ritchie. In the late seventies 'C' began to replace the more familiar language of that time like PL/L, ALGOL,etc.  Thus, without any advertisement, C's reputation spread and its pool of users grew .  Ritchie seems to have been rather surprised that so many progrramers were preferring C to older languages like - FORTRAN or PL/L, or the new ones like Pascal and APL. But, that's what really happened.

             Possibly why C seems so popular is because it is reliable, simple and easy to understand & use. Moreover, in an industry where newer languages ,tools and technologies emerge and vanish day in and day out, a language that has survived for more than three decades has to be really good.
