The c language provides the four basic arithmetic type specifiers char, int, float and double (as well as the boolean type bool), and the modifiers signed, unsigned, short, and long. C (pronounced see) is a computer programming language developed in the early 1970s by ken thompson and dennis ritchie at bell labs They used it to improve the unix operating system.
Ansi c, iso c, and standard c are successive standards for the c programming language published by the american national standards institute (ansi) and iso/iec jtc 1/sc 22 /wg 14 of the international organization for standardization (iso) and the international electrotechnical commission (iec). The c programming language has often been cited as a model for technical writing, with reviewers describing it as having clear presentation and concise treatment.
