Development Timeline
- C was developed in the early 1970s, specifically around 1972, at Bell Labs by Dennis Ritchie.
Features of C Language
- Key features of C include low-level memory access, simple syntax, and rich set of built-in operators.
- Notably, C supports structured programming and allows for the creation of system-level programs.
- Features not associated with C include object-oriented programming, which is more relevant to languages like C++.
Common Uses
- C is widely used for system programming, such as operating systems and embedded systems.
- It is also fundamental in developing applications that require high performance, including game development and real-time systems.
Truths about C Language
