When it is started?
BCPL [Basic Combined Programming Language] is invented by Martin Richards in 1966. It is inspired from BCPL. After sometime Ken Thompson invented a language name B in 1969. After sometime [Inspired from BCPL & B] .
"C is invented by Dennis Ritchie at AT & T's Bell Laboratories of USA in 1972."
Then , Dennis and Ken both meetup and make it on a portable system. In the late seventies C began to replace the more familiar languages of that time like PL/I, ALGOL, etc. No one does any advertisement of C- language. Thus,without any advertisement. C's reputation spread and its pool of users grew.
Why does people use C ?
C seems so popular because it is reliable, simple and easy to use. An opinion that is often heard today is "C has been already super ceded by languages like C++, C# and why bother to learn C today".
I am not agree with this opinion because:-
- I believe that nobody can learn C++ or Java Directly. This is because while learning these languages you have things like classes, objects and polymorphism. According to me, One should learn all the elements of an language while using C before start learning C++, C#,JAVA.
- C++, C# or JAVA make use of a principal called Object Oriented Programming(OOP) to organize the program.
- Major parts of popular operating systems like Windows, UNIX and Linux are still written in C because when it comes to performation(speed of execution) nothing beats C.
- Digital Cameras, Digital Watches, Smartphone become advanced day by day because of an operating system and programs embedded in these devices.
- 3D Computer games where user pickup any gun and shoot the enemy and win the game (Inspired from PUBG 😂😂😂). This is because of C-language.
