The C Language is a high-level programming language developed in the early 1970s by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs. It is known for its efficiency and control over system resources, making it a popular choice for system programming, embedded systems, and application development. C provides a rich set of operators and functions, allowing programmers to write complex programs with relative ease. One of the key features of the C Language is its portability, meaning that programs written in C can run on different types of computer systems with minimal modification. Additionally, C serves as the foundation for many other programming languages, including C++ and C#, influencing their design and functionality.
