Timescale of C language History
1966
BCPL (Basic Combined Programming Language) is a procedural,
imperative, and structured computer programming language designed by MartinRichards of the University of Cambridge in 1966.This language for invented to
design compiler for other languages. Later on BCPL became B Language. Some
people say BCPL means before C language.
1969
B is a programming language developed at Bell Labs circa
1969. It is the work of Ken Thompson with Dennis Ritchie. The Name of B
Language has been deriving from BCPL. B language had some new features like recursion,
Non numeric programming machine independent applications, such as system and
language software. B Language was interpreted programming language for
mini-computers, and easier to use and more convenient than Assembler while
producing almost as efficient code.After some time B language became base for C Language. Things which are used in C language basically inspired by B Language.
1970
The C programming language was devised in the early 1970s by
Dennis M. Ritchie an employee from Bell Labs (AT&T). In the 1960s Ritchie
worked, with several other employees of Bell Labs (AT&T), on a project
called Multics. The goal of the project was to develop an operating system for
a large computer Like Unix. In the phase of existence of C language it was
originally developed to write UNIX. But after 1972 success of UNIX made C language
a new most powerful and simple language to developed software.
As per today scenario we can imagine our word without of C
language because every day we used many software based on C.
Example and Area of C language uses
- UNIX
- LINUX
- Android
- System Software Design
- Compiler
- Driver
