11
A Brief History Of C

• History
• Developed by Dennis Ritchie and his team at Bell
  Lab, AT T, New Jersey
• C programming language (1972)
• A language to replace B language
• The language was developed to replace the UNIXs
  assembly language code
• The book C Programming Language (1st edition
  1978, 2nd edition 1989)

12
A Brief History Of C (continue)

• History
• American National Standard Institute (ANSI) C
  standard (1983 - 1989)
• Defines Architecture, syntax, standard library
  functions
• ANSI C standard was finally established in
  December of 1989
• Document number X3J11/99-090

13
C Standard Library

• C programs consist of modules which are called
  functions. Most existing functions are stored in
  C Standard Library.
• When coding C programs, you will use the
  following functions to create C programs
• C Standard Library functions
• Functions you create yourself
• Functions other people have created and made
  available to you

14
C Programming Development Environment

• C Programs are developed through the following
  phases
• Program Editing
• Preprocessing
• Compiling
• Linking
• Loading
• Execution
