C is a general-purpose, procedural, imperative computer programming language developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie at the Bell Telephone Laboratories for use with the Unix operating system.[1] It has since spread to many other platforms. Although predominantly used for system software,[2][3] C is also widely used for applications. C has also greatly influenced many other popular languages,[4] especially C++, which was designed as an enhancement to C.
