| The language of B, now known as C, was made in 1969 by Kenneth Thompson who was from the Martin Richard's BCPL. Dennis Ritchie formed the language of C two years later. Few changes were made when forming C from B. C is one of the most used languages in the field and is used in the new operating system, UNIX. |

C can be used for a variety of
task. Mainly it is used for Operating Systems and
Scientific applications. Most operating systems
today were contructed with some C. Most operating
systems mix C with other languages. Linux uses mainly
C except for lower level parts that are built with
assembly. Games and Scientific applications are
mainly written in C. In the last few years more
and more games were starting to use C++.C can be
used in almost anything. Some tasks require more
knowledge such as knowledge of C++. It is best to
learn multiple languages.
Newer projects that were in C are translated into
C++. In others, this takes to long and isn't worth
the time and effort. Learning C first before learning
C++ gives you a better foundation when programming.
C also does some taskes that C++ can't, and vice
versa its best to know both. |

The language C is very flexable.
It is simple enough to allow a programmer
to have complete control over the execution.
It is also complex enough to to make tasks
simpler. C does not have anything that it
stands for. It is just an evolution of B.
Practically every platform has a C compiler
for it. C is the most portable of all languages
as it is also one of the most powerful.
