C lANGUAGE'S bIRTH

“Every good tree produces good fruit.”

Birth of C

C is very often referred as a “System
Programming Language” because it is used for writing
compilers, editors and even operating systems. C was
developed and implemented on the UNIX operating
system on the DEC PDP-11, by "Dennis M. Ritchie."

C was evolved during 1971-73 from B language of Ken
Thompson, which was evolved (in 1969-70) from

BCPL language of Martin Richards.
