C (pronounced c-ensiː, like the letter C) is a general-purpose computer programming language developed between 1969 and 1973 by Dennis Ritchie at the Bell Telephone Laboratories for use with the Unix operating system.

Although C was designed for implementing system software, it is also widely used for developing portable application software.

C is one of the most popular programming languages of all time and there are very few computer architectures for which a C compiler does not exist. C has greatly influenced many other popular programming languages, most notably C++, which began as an extension to C.

C is one of the most common computer programming languages today. C++ is an extension to plain C that allows object oriented programming and is not discussed here. Some other programming languages are: BASIC - good for beginners, however some say the syntax (programming grammer) is a bit awkward compared to more modern languages. Modern versions are GWBasic, QBasic (Quick-Basic), and Visual Basic (VB) which adds some functionality for making some Windows type programming into the language, but it is noted for not being a sound logically structured programming language. Fortran, Pascal - older languages, but good. JAVA - a more modern language that is good for many machines. HTML - for making webpages Java Script - for adding a lot of functionality to webpages. machine language - just numbers - a "low-level" the most basic programming for a computer. All computer programs eventually wind up to this in computer memory. Assembly Language - like machine language, but a lot of assistance is given to make it easier to read and write it. Some computers might come with a program called DEBUG that is a simple program for making computer programs. C can be used for both low level (machine code) and high level programming (especially C++). ------------------------------------------------ There can be a lot to cover with computer programming. I can only cover some basics of it with these video/discussions. Still, a major use for programming is number crunching; An input of numbers <b>...</b>
