C programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The C programming language (often, just "C") is a general-purpose, procedural, imperative computer programming language developed in the early 1970s by Dennis Ritchie for use on the Unix operating system. |
 | | The C Programming Language, 2nd edition, is a widely used reference on ANSI C. During the late 1970s, C began to replace BASIC as the leading microcomputer programming language. |
 | | Without such precautions, most programs may compile only on a certain platform or with a particular compiler, due, for example, to the use of non-standard libraries, such as GUI libraries, or to the reliance on compiler- or platform-specific attributes such as the exact size of certain data types and byte endianness. |
