C  Programming  Language          

C is a general-purpose programming language that was developed in the early 1970s by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs. It was designed as a low-level systems programming language that could be used to write operating systems, device drivers, and other software that needed to interact closely with the hardware.

C is a compiled language, which means that programs written in C need to be compiled before they can be executed. The language is known for its efficiency and its ability to manipulate memory directly, making it popular for systems programming, embedded systems, and other applications where performance and control over system resources are critical.

The C Language is developed by Dennis Ritchie for creating system applications that directly interact with the hardware devices such as drivers, kernels, etc.

C programming is considered as the base for other programming languages, that is why it is known as mother language.

It can be defined by the following ways:

1. Mother language
2. System programming language
3. Procedure-oriented programming language
4. Structured programming language
5. Mid-level programming language
