What is C language?
C is a general purpose programming language created by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs in 1972, to write the UNIX operating system. It is a procedural, compiled language, which means the code is divided into functions and is converted to machine code before running.
It is fast and close to the hardware, so it is used for operating systems, embedded systems, compilers and databases. Many languages like C++, Java and PHP took their syntax from C. See the C Introduction chapter.
