Introduction
C is a general-purpose, structured programming language. Its
instructions consist of terms that resemble algebraic expressions,
augmented by certain English keywords such as if, else, for, do and
while. C was the offspring of the 'Basic Combined Programming Language'
(BPCL) called B, developed in the 1960's at Cambridge University. B
language was modified by Dennis Ritchie and was implemented at Bell
laboratories in 1972. The new language was named C. Since it was
developed along with the UNIX operating system, it is strongly
associated with UNIX. This operating system, which was also developed at
Bell laboratories, was coded almost entirely
in C.
