Defination of C programming language and its history:

C is a structured procedured  language developed in AT and T Bell laboratory for the purpose of communication with computer VIA written set of instruction.

                                                                Example for c program.

                                          int main()

                                         {

                                         int  a;

                                         char b;

                                         printf("hello  the engineers choice");

                                         return ();

                                         }

                              

History of C:- Many of the ideas of 'c' was derived from BCPL developed by Martin  Richards. In 1972 AD. Dennis ritchie developed C language and AT and T Bell lab. Until 1978 AD the C language was in bell lab only.After 1978 AD Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie published the c language world wide.Many professional like, if a recommended  to others. In 1983 AD the American National standard institute(ANSI) established a committee to provide a modern comprehensive definition of C.The resulting definition , The ANSI standard or "ANSI C" was completed in 1998 AD.

       Advantage of  C programming

1. It has a basic building of many other language.
2. It has many powerful operators.
3. It is portable means program written in one computer be modified or run  in any other computer.
4. It has 32 keywords and several built in functions.
5. It has ability to extend  itself. C library has many function which are helpful for writing  programs.we can add our own function to the C library
