History of C

        The history of "C" starts in late sixties with a computer language called "B" it was named after the company which created it, Bell Labs, you may also know this company as AT&T. "B" was very limited and was used strict for easier management of the company's phone service. Then in the seventies when technology began to grow Bell Labs decided to create something better. So in 1972 a computer programmer named Dennis Ritchie created a new computer language called "C"(going up alphabetically from B).
        As AT&T Bell Labs put it to manage their phone service, people started to realize the possibilities of this language. AT&T Bell Labs also realized the potential of "C", especially its ability to create complex programs. So, Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson created new operation system and called it "UNIX". Now it's one of the best operating systems on the market, arguably it is also one of the most complicated operating systems on the market. In order for someone to use "UNIX" that person has to know "C" otherwise it would be very difficult to understand "UNIX" and nearly impossible to master it.
        However, "UNIX" is not the only thing "C" was good at. The computer gaming industry also treid it out and discovered that by using "C" games will run faster. Because "C" has few command and they translate right in to Binary language(Language that uses only 0's and 1's), they also were able to add more features to games because "C" allowed for more complex commands. So people who played games created with "C" could enjoy a more complex game environment which ran faster too. Games, also became better looking, due to complex 3D graphics that werew added using "C".
        Many compilers (A compiler is a computer program that translates the programming language into an actual program) were released since "C" came out, different changes were made, this meant changes that not everyone agreed on. However, one thing everyone agreed on, is that there had to be some kind of a standard. So in 1987 the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) version of "C" appeared, it created a standard that all "C" compilers use today.
