HISTORY
n1.
‘C’ programming was introduced in the year 1972 by Dennis Ritchie at AT&T (American Telephone and Telegraphs)Bellabs in USA.
n
n2. In 1960’s COBOL was being used for commercial apps and FORTRAN for scientific and engineering apps.
n
n3. At that stage they used to develop a language which is suitable for all apps.
n
n4. ALGOL60 was released but it was not popular because it seems too general.

5. To reduce the generality a new language called CPL(Combined Programming Language) developed at Cambridge University.
n
n6. After some features are added to this language and a new language called BCPL(Basic CPL) was developed by Martin Richards.
n
n7. The ‘B’ language was developed by Ken Thomson at AT&T Bellabs.
n8. Dennis Ritchie inherited features of B & BCPL and added some of his features developed ‘C’ language in 1972.
