C is a Low / middle-level language computer programming language developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie at the Bell Telephone Laboratories for use with the Unix operating system. C is a structured programming language, which means that it allows you to develop programs using well-defined control structures and provides modularity (breaking the task into multiple sub tasks that are simple enough to understand and to reuse). C is often called a Low / middle-level language because it combines the best elements of low-level or machine language with high-level languages.
C’s ability to communicate directly with hardware makes it a powerful choice for system programmers. In fact, popular operating systems such as Unix and Linux are written entirely in C. Additionally, even compilers and interpreters for other languages such as FORTRAN, Pascal, and BASIC are written in C. It is also used to develop any kind of application, including complex business ones.
