I am not going to explain how and where it started. I am not going to say that it is the succesor of the language B. There are enough sources on the internet who explains how c became c. I want to skip that part. I want to start with the question; Why C?
Why C?
C is a small language. C is one of the most powerfull languages. C is the combination of the low level power of machine language with the sofisticated feel of a high level language. C is as I said some sentences before a small language. C does not have embedded input/output instructions or complicated interrupt handlers, C uses library functions for this. C is very portable. Because C is so small you can use it on virtually any machine. An example is Hisoft C on the ZX-Spectrum 48k. There are more reasons why you want to choose for C, but that does not bring you one bit closer to your first in C written program.
