A successor to the programming language b, c was originally developed at bell labs by ritchie between 1972 and 1973 to construct utilities running on unix. This book will introduce you to computer programming and software development using c If you're an experienced developer, this book will help you become familiar with the c programming language. 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. Organized as one or more source files
Building the code typically involves preprocessing and then compiling each source file into an object file. 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. Software developers writing in c are encouraged to conform to the standards, as doing so helps portability between compilers The first standard for c was published by ansi. 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. Many of these 70 languages were influenced by c due to its success and ubiquity.
