'C' where develop from two previous languages , 'BCPL and 'B'.
BCPL was developed in 1967 by a man named Martin Ritchards as a languange
to write operating systems software and compilers.
Ken Thompson designed many similaritys in his B-language after their`s opposites
In 'BCPL'. He used 'B' to create an early version of the operating system 'UNIX'.
The UNIX-system was in that time written in assembly but they did now an attempt
to write UNIX in 'B'.
Unfortunately was not 'B' complete and fast enough so a man named Dennis Ritchie
used 'B' to develop a new languange, 'C '(every programmers dream)!
They skiped this version of 'C' with UNIX an that came to be a so called:
De facto-standard for 'C'.
Today is almost every larger operating systems written in C and/or C++ .
C is hardware independent and with careful designing is it possible to write programs
in C that is able to run on almost every computer.
In the late 70th had C develop to what we today call "traditional C" .
But the fast expansion of C on different kinds of computers resulted in many various
versions of C and these where often incompartible.
This was a big problem so after some time had there become a standard for C "ANSI C"!
