History of C Programming Language
This document provides a history of the C programming language. It discusses how C evolved from earlier languages like BCPL and B that were used for operating systems and were typeless. It then describes key events like Dennis Ritchie creating C at Bell Labs in 1972 and the influential book The C Programming Language by Kernighan & Ritchie in 1978 that helped popularize C. The document also gives brief overviews of influential earlier languages like ALGOL and BCPL that influenced the creation of C.

Overview of C programming history and its significance in computing.
Details of the presentation and the presenters from Daffodil International University.
C is a high-level, general-purpose language ideal for firmware and portable applications, developed in the 1970s at Bell Labs.
C evolved from BCPL and B, which are typeless languages. The publication by Kernighan & Ritchie in 1978 revolutionized computing.
C language emerged from BCPL and B, which were used for OS and compilers. B was adapted for early UNIX OS.
Algol, developed in 1958, was influential for algorithmic language definition and introduced block bracketing.
BCPL, developed in 1996 by Martin Richards, is a successor to CPL, notable for its high portability.
Language B, developed in 1969 by Ritchie and Thompson at Bell Labs, was derived from BCPL for non-numeric applications.

- 3. What is CPrograming? C is a high-level and general purpose programming language that is ideal for developing firmware or portable applications. Originally intended for writing system software, C was developed at Bell Labs by Dennis Ritchie for the Unix Operating System (OS) in the early 1970s.
- 5. BCPL and Bare "type less" languages whereas C provides a variety of data types. In 1972 Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs writes C and in 1978 the publication of The C Programming Language by Kernighan & Ritchie caused a revolution in the computing world. Origin of C
- 6. History of C Evolved from two previous languages – BCPL, B BCPL (Basic Combined programming language) used for writing OS & compilers B used for creating early versions of UNIX OS Both are “typeless” language C language evolved from B (Dennis Ritchie – Bell labes)
- 7. Algol programming language Algol is a computer programming language Developed in 1958. Named for the algorithmic process of definition of a programming problem. Short for Algorithmic Language. Uses words to bracket blocks and was the first to use begin end pairs.
- 8. BCPL • Full form:Basic Combined Programming Language. • Developed in 1996. • Developed by Martin Richards • Its having high portability. • BCPL is the successor to the CPL programming language.
- 9. B • Developed in1969 • Designed by D. M. Ritchie and K. L. Thompson • Developed at Bell Labs • B was derived from BCPL • Designed for primarily non-numeric applications.
